Well, one of the things that has been happening in the xorg/qt/kde world
is a move towards more eye-candy with transparency, drop shadows, and so
on. My guess is that this version of KDE is trying to use a new method
of drawing things, that turns out to be slower than the old (or maybe
more accurately, plain) method for your hardware.
You might take a walk through the KDE option menus and disable anything
that says "drop shadows", "transparency", or most other eye-candy.
Could you post the output "xdpyinfo"...I have a feeling the answer is
going to be in there.
$ xdpyinfo
<snip>
number of extensions: 33
BIG-REQUESTS
Composite
Could you try disabling this. From googling, it seems that something
like the following in xorg.conf should do it:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
Everything else looks sane.
