I tried out Fedora 18 on my old laptop the other day and noticed that it was SLOOOW.
Looking into it I realized that Xorg ate loads of CPU-cycles. A fast check with sysprof told me that it was in the drm-chain Xorg placed all its resurces. I also was able to confirm this was not the case with a 3.5.0 fetched from koji for fc18.
Now I ask myself, is there anyone else experience this kind of problem with the 3.6-kernel so far? Any other dists?
