Graphics performance very bad with Radeon HD 5770 and Dual-Monitor setup

After a new installation on my old hardware, I noticed considerably worse performance, although the hardware was not altered. Overall operation seems fine. But if I start a youtube video and put it in full screen, I get horrible performance -- even several seconds of freeze. Also, running e.g. wesnoth is quite slow. I used to be able to run wesnoth on the big monitor while running a video on the second monitor simultaneously with no problem at all.
