This problem still exists if you are using bios boot. The scrolling of text is much slower in hd than with nouveau. But going with 8bit(0x034b which is 1920x1080 8bit) instead of 32 or 16 bit speeds up the scrolling. Not super happy with it but it is useable. Putting the modules into mkinitcpio.conf gave me some sharpness of the font, looks great. (or maybe i am hallucinazing lol)

also found this:

I guess it is on the way?

I always added this to my lilo.conf to speed up scrolling

image = /boot/vmlinuz
initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
append="acpi_enforce_resources=lax video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr:3"
root = /dev/sdb1
label = Slackware64
