By the way, I when I disabled vertical sync in compiz and in driconf,
the performance with EXA went back to normal.  I also set
MigrationHeuristic to greedy in xorg.conf and upgraded the intel driver
to 2.7.1.  Unfortunately, I don't know which of these steps are the
minimum necessary to get acceptable performance.  Disabling vsync
with driconf might've been sufficient.

This only happened once to me, and with UXA, so I'm lucky.  I have a
large custom Virtual desktop size in my xorg.conf, which makes the
freezes less frequent, I've heard.
