3.8 UI performance drop?

Is it just me or does the UI performance seem to have gone seriously
grotty recently? Text selecting seriously lags the pointer, typing
doesn't even vaguely keep up with my very slow pecking, it generally
feels like treacle has been poured into my machine.

Now, I know I run a relatively slow machine but really - after getting
quite promising during 3.7 it's gone all slow-mo again. What is the
point of me making factor 2X speedups in the VM if someone comes along
and makes all the UI stuff 3x slower?

There's an obvious problem in making sensible measurements of this
stuff but am I the only one noticing this?
