The screen rotating behavior has changed for me now. It is different at least as of 2:2.6.1-1ubuntu4, but may have changed earlier.
Currently, with UXA on, attempting to rotate gives a very garbled partial rotate screen which takes about 10 seconds to paint.
With UXA off, attempting to rotate gives a completely black screen from which one needs to kill the X server to recover.
On the other hand, unrotated, non-UXA performance has improved.
