I understand this, too. But my laptop is affected by this slow down
(on my triple boot desktop I'm still using Sarge because of other
performance issues) and so I can not just change the video card. And
to be honest: before spending money for new hardware I would
consider changing the software. Therefore I want to investigate
further on my speed problem (maybe it's not Xorg but KDE or GNOME ...?).

Can you provide a copy of such a postscript file for testing on
different hardware and platforms? And which hardware do you use?

Best,
