This sounds familiar.... I had a similar problem in Fedora Core 2 test
releases... I think maybe it's this:
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120858>

Which is a several collections of problems. First thing to check is your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf -- make sure that you don't have a line like this:

  Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"

If you do, either delete it or change "xfree86" to "xorg".

If that doesn't do it, there's several other things in the bug linked to
above that may help.

That one's harder. Can you quantify "slow"? Is it just startup, or is it
slow all of the time?

Are other web browsers (mozilla firefox, say) also slow?
