Quote from the developers: "tuning to the highest speed possible has caused hangs on some boxes, with no discernable pattern, so we default to 'slow but safe' whilst giving the option to go fast if the user wants to try it." So it loooks like a known issue to xorg developers with no workaround. :( Thanks for the moral support.
