Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I'd been using Karmic for the last couple of weeks and did an upgrade to get latest last night. After a reboot I logged in and overall performance was really lousy. Scrolling from within a window, dragging a window around, typing within a window were glacially slow. Any time I did any of the above things Xorg pegged the CPU. I tried rebooting again, that didn't work. I also tried rebooting and using an older kernel, that also didn't work.

What managed to get everything back to normal was reverting from xserver-xorg-video-intel_2%3a2.9.0-1ubuntu2_i386.deb to xserver-xorg-video-intel_2%3a2.8.1-1ubuntu2_i386.deb. After another reboot performance was as it was before the update. All other packages remain as they are.

This is (apparently) not related to the cryptsetup version, I have the most recent (fixed) version:

cryptsetup:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2:1.0.6+20090405.svn49-1ubuntu4
  Version table:
     2:1.0.6+20090405.svn49-1ubuntu4 0
        500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages

I'd be glad to help debug this problem, but I probably can't do it during work hours because my laptop is more or less unusable for work while in this state.
