Actually I just now realized I've compared non-KMS radeonhd with KMS
radeon. So that was KMS vs. non-KMS. Maybe it was KMS that introduced
improvement for me. I'd need to try non-KMS radeon driver.

That is caused by moving GPU drivers to kernel and that movement has
some really important and nice reason. But finally we should get
stable kernel drivers (KMS) and all distros including then :)
