[Openchrome-users] Slow text rendering in konsole, any suggestions how to improve?

[Peter Volkov]

Hello. Text rendering in konsole is very slow: it takes about 1 (!)
second to repaint a window full of text. Does there exist any way to
improve it besides changing konsole to xterm (in xterm delay is much
shorter...)?

I've tried both EXA and XAA. Also I've tried to play with options but
it's still too slow.

I've updated kernel to 2.6.25 and openchrome driver to the recent svn
version (module version = 0.2.903) without any luck. My xorg.conf and
Xorg.0.log are in attachments. Could you suggest anything?
