My (and e.g. also Andreas Klemm's) opinion is just the opposite.
Especially the X server performance improved from 1.1.5 to 2.0.  I've
run xbench against both systems, but the server even ``feels'' much
faster than the numbers are actually showing (though there's also a
performance gain).

Did you by incident run pccons on your 1.1.X system?  Pccons has been
*way* simpler than either syscons or pcvt (though the latest pcvt is
again almost as fast as [at least NetBSD's -- they still have it]
pccons).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
