The problem I have it takes 6.7 seconds to switch from console to X
with <Alt><F7>. The 6.7 s time is very consistent, every time I
measure it. It's very long and annoying.

This is very probably related to a problem with your mouse (which some 

I do not have a mouse. Can that be a problem? If so, what can I do to 
make X don't even think about a mouse?

versions of X reset during startup). Check your XF86Config and the X log 
for related messages. 

I have put these config and log files here:

Can you have a look if there is any clue in there?

Besides, sisfb does not support 1152x864 at 60Hz. This mode is (yet) 
only supported at 75 and 85Hz, both of which exceed the HSync range of 
your monitor. Hence the log entries (which BTW only appear when the 
display mode is switched and not "every several minutes").

In fact my monitor supports way more than that. In the mode I use all 
the time, and which is used in the logs in the previous message too, I 
use: 68.0 kHz / 75 Hz which is displayed in the OSD of my monitor,
and it is perfectly OK with that. 

I have no idea where does sisfb take that from:

Jul 13 12:31:29 jaworz kernel: sisfb: Monitor range H 31-61KHz, V 60-75Hz, Max. dotclock 78MHz
Jul 13 12:31:29 jaworz kernel: sisfb: WARNING: Refresh rate exceeds monitor specs!
Jul 13 12:31:29 jaworz kernel: sisfb: Mode is 1152x864x16 (60Hz)

My monitor is Hyundai DeluxScan 5870
and it can do (data from the manual):

H: 30-70 kHz
V: 50-160 Hz
