Seems as if the new kernel's have CPU frequency scaling happining and 
it's 35+ C here.

Maybe the slowness is due to temperature problems:


Nov 19 13:34:50 blackbox kernel: CPU1: Temperature above threshold, cpu 
clock throttled (total events = 68401)
Nov 19 13:34:50 blackbox kernel: CPU0: Temperature above threshold, cpu 
clock throttled (total events = 68399)
Nov 19 13:34:51 blackbox kernel: CPU0: Temperature/speed normal
