Description ps 2010-10-11 17:02:56 UTC 
after upgrading from 6.13.1 to 6.13.2 my terminals became much slower when
rendering text and when moving with cursor.
(Eterm with backround image)

gentoo, xorg-server 1.7.7-r1, libX11 1.3.4, ati radeon HD3650.

This is likely a duplicate of bug 30679.
Comment 5 ps 2010-10-11 18:02:45 UTC 
dont know to decide it.
i put Option "EXAOptimizeMigration" "off" into xorg.conf and nothing changed.
also no KDE here - e16 wm and Eterm. another symptom is that audacious vizualization plugin becames jerky when CPU starts compute something, eg gcc compilation. this was not the case before.
Comment 6 Andrew Randrianasulu 2010-10-11 23:04:11 UTC 
Even if I noticed this  slowness in my limited testing (=use system as usual), i just moved away and sink into another  adventure without investigation. Sorry for this.

I'm using Eterm + e16 too, (not with radeon, right now) but i think  Comment #4 from Alex Deucher is right - i surely have bitmap fonts in my Eterm ....

Guess we both can move into tracking 30679 ?

from what i understood 30679 has workaround by Option "EXAOptimizeMigration" "off"
which is not my case. does it work for you?

Currently I using different driver on different hw (nouveau with GF6200). But  I also use X server from git,  usually master and now - 1.9 branch with one commit reverted (workaround for broken mouse handling in some games).  In different X server versions "EXAOptimizeMigration" was on or off by default (may be some distributions turn it on, too ?), i think in my case it is off.

Also, i'm on  AGP box, so speed difference can be bigger in my case (compared to PCI-E guys).

in such a case it looks probable this is a dupe.
