A couple of days ago, I upgraded my system to F13 Rawhide. Since then, a little miniclip.com flash game my kids got me addicted to ("Aliens Must Die") is running much more slowly. It's a shoot-em-up game with lots of moving objects, and the system just doesn't seem to be able to keep up with animating them nearly as well as it could before the upgrade.
Is it possible that this is only because the Rawhide kernel has debugging enabled? Or is this a real performance degradation? If the latter, I've got no idea how to track down the exact cause of the performance degradation or how to report it in BZ. I also, unfortunately, don't have a lot of time to pursue it. Any suggestions for useful things I can do?
BTW, I have a Unichrome S3 video adaptor and a ViewSonic LCD monitor.

Seeing anything in /var/log/messages?
I have Intel graphics, but I'm seeing constant spew of "DMAR write errors" with kernel-2.6.32-0.51.rc7.git2.fc13.x86_64 that seem to make the system choppy and slow. I've BZ'ed my issue here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538163
