I'm hitting some slowness, but in my case it happened after trying
CVS X.org (I wanted to try Benh's patch because it fixed my crashes
radeon 9200 se card, pentium 3 machine) so in my case it's the patch
who it seems to make it happen, but I don't know if this is related
with this bug or not (I'm using exa aswell, and firefox 1.5 isn't
supposed to use cairo - at least for gecko, GTK version is 2.8.12)
