the person using that computer tells me that, after I told him to try Mate
or Cinnamon WITHOUT "software acceleration" the computer started to
behave decently. So the issue is closed, so to speak. Still, I'd like
to know more about how to handle such analyses automatically.

For now, thanks to all who answered!

Well, one way to check if it is indeed the video driver is to stop the
service utilizing it. issue 'systemctl stop kdm' from your ssh session
(or sddm if you've switched it to that, kdm was still default in F20).
This will stop the desktop processes and drop the machine to a
console. If your ssh session suddenly speeds up, then you know it has
something to do with video.

I tried that, but it doesn't produce any noticeable effect on my side (as I said, the other box is on a slow connection, so that's the major bottleneck
that keeps things slow when I connect there). What I reported earlier,
i.e. deleting characters with the backspace key in a terminal, happens
on a **local** terminal, inside an X session of that computer, from its
keyboard.
