(Get the code!)
If the console output is too slow (which I assume is what you mean in serious system slowdown), decrease the resolution. I have a couple of lesser powered ATI cards (HD3200) where I notice super-slow consoles on the higher, unaccelerated, vesa modes they support. I just take these down to lower resolutions for this workaround.
Things just appear slow .. but its actually just your display, which has a buffer. Without "quiet" and in the higher resolution it will take longer to boot if your console is slow and you have to wait for the output to complete. Just decrease your resolution, maybe down to plain VGA and use *quiet* and your speed issues should go away until this is fixed in an elegant way.
