I noticed that performance with KMS is more affected than non-KMS by the 
debugging options which are enabled in Rawhide kernel. The final release 
will have most of them disabled, so there's a chance the performance 
with KMS will improve.
You could try rebuilding the kernel without debugging to confirm it.
