If it did then the debian packages of boost are compiled with strange 
settings, since the internal boost is an unmodified subset of 1.34.0 and 
compiled with standard settings.

But Sven is not the only one who sees that slowness, IIRC it has been 
reported on the users list, too. I fear that the quality of 1.5.0 will not 
be that good. See e.g. here http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/BuglistsForLyX150 
(and some more major bugs that don't have the 1.5.0 target).
It might be wise to wait a bit before replacing 1.4.4 in debian.
