xf86-video-intel slow interface

Hey! I have a noob question:
When I install the package xf86-video-intel the XFCE is very slow in my computer. I uninstalled the xf86-video-intel and opened the Xorg log file and the "intel" option returned a error, but xfce starts fast and without a problem. With the xf86-video-intel package, the computer is very slow and you cannot use it. Why does it happen?

I have a PC with Celeron and Intel Graphics.
 
On most Intel graphics systems, the inbuilt modesetting X.Org driver works much better than the xf86-video-intel driver.
Just install graphics/drm-kmod and use modesetting (by having no X.Org config regarding graphics driver).

Note: If the xf86-video-intel driver is installed, X.Org prefers it over modesetting without a config file, so don't install it again.
