1 I and quite a lot of other people noticed a massive slowdown when
2 switching to xorg, I gave up trying to track down the reason for this
3 slowdown and my laptop (which was the only box on ~x86) is now testing
4 ubuntu.

6 I noticed in the xorg thread on the message forum:
7
8 "I was having the same "really slow" loading problems experienced by
9 others here using 6.8.0-r1, but that seems to be fixed with the latest
10 masked release (6.8.0-r2). Now applications (X. KDE, etc) load as fast
11 or faster then the 6.7.0-r2 release. I'm using the latest nvidia kernel
12 release. Great job!"
13
14 So PLEASE dont mark 6.8.0-r1 stable, I had major issues with that one.
