bcrisciotti already explained why it was running slow. The version of Xorg and the version of the Intel driver shipped with 11.1 don't work well together, for various technical reasons. I know a lot about these problems b/c my GF's laptop has the X3100 integrated video and I have read a lot about the problems and possibilities of getting it to work.
In my experience, the only options to improving Intel video performance on 11.1 are:
1. Installing a newer version of Xorg
2. Compiling and installing a newer version of the intel driver
3. 1 and 2
4. Downgrade to 11.0
5. Wait for 11.2
Please note, options 1-3 have some major risks associated with them, and more often than not can end up borking your system. Even if you do manage to update those components, there isn't much guarantee there will be an improvement since both are being actively developed, and therefore are moving targets.
This is also not to say that video performance isn't acceptable; it's just not where it could be.
