That may just be due to the new mouse driver and/or input layer, which
went in some weeks ago. What kind of mouse (and if it is a PS/2 mouse, can
you get a loaner USB mouse to test with, for example?)

There was a separate MTRR atomicity problem that would cause extreme
slowdowns on SMP with MTRR enabled when X was started, because the MTRR
code would have re-entrancy problems and potentially leave the caches
disabled. That should have been fixed in 2.5.36.
