The problem is _extremely_ apparent in acme windows where I edit at the top of any file. The screen redraws the reset of the acme window as I hit the return key, but, is so slow I can almost count the refresh time in seconds. Another example is resizing or creating a window. The window border lags badly when following my mouse and takes almost an entire second to catch up. Scrolling is not the issue because new data is appended to the current data rather than old data having to be shuffled around to include the new data. Here is the output from my /dev/vgactl: type s3 size 1280x1024x8 m8 blanktime 30 hwaccel on hwblank off panning off addr 0xe6000000 This problem is evident when hwaccel is both 'on' and 'off'.
