Sounds similar to the problem that Bill Maltby has been writing about. The advice I gave him last: Boot the last kernel under which you saw "normal" performance. If booting the older kernel doesn't fix the problem, then the problem is probably the X11 server. At that point, I'd start using "yum downgrade" to revert individual components, and reboot until you find the change that fixes performance. xorg-x11-server-Xorg and xorg-x11-drv-ati are the ones I'd check first.
