Slow response when h/w acceleration disabled

Hello everyone,
Pale Moon takes long take time to respond (for example, scrolling and clicking menu buttons are delayed) when hardware acceleration is disabled in X11 in any of the following cases:
32-bit Linux (Slackware), Celeron 550 @ 2.00GHz, 2GB DDR2 533 MHz, integrated graphics card.
Hardware acceleration is disabled in X11 for stability reasons by placing the following stanza in /etc/X11/xorg.conf :
Alternatively, one may use fbdev driver instead of modesetting:
Pale Moon takes long take time to respond (for example, scrolling and clicking menu buttons are delayed) when hardware acceleration is disabled in X11 in any of the following cases:
- There are animated elements on the displayed page; for example, on https://broker.vtb.ru , where some images gradually change their size when hovered over by the mouse. This issue seems to be solved by setting layers.offmainthreadcomposition.async-animations to false.
- Big enough (like 576p) HTML5 video is being played on the screen. This can be alleviated by setting layers.dump to true at the expense of making the video choppy.
