I wonder if it's a 0.11 thing or maybe a Linux thing.  I've been
running 0.12.3 on the Mac lately and haven't noticed it being
particularly slow.  It's got the clock weirdness it's always had,
but things seem to run okay.  Though I haven't been running
venti, so I suppose there could be some issue with heavy memory
usage.
