It's only console. X-video is very good.
Remote X-video and VNC video are pretty fast too.

On console it looks like everything is in slow motion, about 2-3 fps.
Folder opening was just an example, menus draw slowly, scrolling takes 
forever, etc.

I'll do some more testing later (have some work to do first ;)

It might be that it's not even a MOL problem (timebase freq and timer 
calibration values are the same for all modes, if that's anything 
related). I'll try to do some general console video benchmarking in Linux 
when I have some time again (any particular tool you can suggest?)

BR,
