[Alfred Nutile]

disable the sounds for the gnome desktop ie System --> Prefs --> Sounds
--> Login Log out etc.
This is what causes to log out hang on a server.
Not sure about the speed issues

Addistionaly you can't log out, if you click on logout (door symbol) the  session dialog appears, but if you click than on logout, the server screen is freezing. In this state it's only help to reset the x11 screen (CTRL-ALT-Backspace)
