No, why? glamor is generally on par with EXA and for some operations such as
text rendering (which is among the most important in practice) significantly
faster. If there are any cases where glamor is significantly slower than EXA
for you, please file bug reports against the Server/Acceleration/glamor
component.

If you can ssh in from another machine, that might allow you to get more
information about the hangs.

Any chance you could try if the problem also occurs with 64-bit Xorg?
