Thanks for your reply! 

Unfortunately "nomodeset" doesn't change anything it seems. I added it 
to the GRUB defaults, updated GRUB and rebooted. The flag "nomodeset" 
shows up in /proc/cmdline but everything goes exactly as illustrated in 
the screencast, i.e. horribly slow :(

Is there anything else I can try?
