After a night of testing, I can confirm 0.8 works *much* better. As I was told in #700908, the database storage for blocks has changed, and performs much better.
It seems that the old block database is left lying around however, so user intervention is needed to finish the upgrade. Here I had to rm ~/.bitcoin/blk* to remove duplicate data from the other block database, now stored in ~/.bitcoin/blocks/. Since 0.8 depends on the LevelDB database, it is quite likely that the build-deps and run-deps need to be changed. There are probably other pitfalls that I missed during the upgrade because I didn't build in a sandbox, but that's what I could find so far.
