Current kernels still have slab debugging on (Because we still have bugs that this is tripping up that need whacking). The increased overhead of this sucks up memory bandwidth, and I wouldn't be surprised if shared-memory video chipsets feel some pain.
Would it be enough to install and boot into the latest fc4 update kernel to make a rough attempt to isolate the affect of enabled kernel debugging from xorg driver issues? or has there been too much shift in the rawhide kernel from rev 1831 for that comparison to be useful at all?
Not something I've tested personally, so I've not got a definitive answer. I'd put money on things like udev complaining about the kernel being not new enough. Other than that though, should be ok-ish. Maybe.
