Looking at the latest logs, there are terrible delays, probably for which we cannot blame the graphics driver.

There is 200 ms of delay between the "Expected sleep" line and "Loop" line, which is not normal. Any chance you can look at the system as a whole to see what's causing these delays? I'm not really sure how to do this, but maybe "top" could give an initial indication if there's anything that's taking a lot of CPU power.
