By the way Xorg configuration becomes more and more elusive. Initially,

If this continues, I'll run my 5.4-p8 workstation with "old

No, honestly: X is going to be more and more annoying. Have
you noticed the long startup time? Nearly a half minute (!!!)
on a 1.5 GHz system!
That's way too long for just X. Bloated desktop environment? Disk
contention?
I know that there is lots of work done to make life easier for X
developers, especially getting rid of many OS specific stuff, but...
Finally, sliding more off-topic: Not only X gets slower with each
release, the same applies for almost all X applications, except the
"old fashioned" ones.
It sounds like we have very different experiences. While I wouldn't say
the current xorg is a lot faster (not counting DRM), it's certainly not
slower on any of the systems I have to test. But I don't know what
video board you're using either.
