Got the F9 Alpha and it is, due to slowness, impossible to run it in

Is there any conclusion what's wrong? This has to be pretty visible on any
hardware.
X. X slows down the entire show. Somewhere at the server/driver level.
You might be seeing alot of X related slowness, but its not the only thing going
on... I'd really like to see an argument made for why Nautilus takes a full 10s
to show my home directory each time (about 40 files/directories) if X is the
only culprit. Its just not going to be an easy argument to make (and the cpu is
not under heavy load). Why does the entire window not update until its fully
populated, only part of the list is going to be drawn (and X knows nothing about
the hidden part of that list).
There are some X slowdowns sure. Trying to select/copy a large amount of text
out of the terminal is a good example of what is almost entirely X slowness; the
scrolling upward is fully smooth if you're not dragging a selection.
