Just finally had a chance to reboot into 3.8.0-0.rc5.git1.1.fc19.x86_64 here. It's very very very very slow graphically. Also, I note that there's a bunch of disk i/o going on, perhaps btrfs is having some poor interaction with the debugging? Booting with slub_debug=- brings everything back to usable for me. It looks like to me slub_debug is the thing that slows things down for my use case. ;) Happy to keep testing. kevin
