I have been running KDE 2.2.2 (my unstable system is apt-get updated daily) and noticed that the xfree86 process (according to top) was consuming over 50% of CPU resources at times. Sometimes only 11%, sometimes 30%, sometimes over 50%. Strange and getting stranger as this only began occuring in the past few weeks.
So I tried out Blackbox with gkrellm and immediately noticed that my total CPU usage (with the same processes as under KDE -- browser, mail, news, etc.) never went over 12%. Something in KDE was consuming mucho CPU. Any ideas on why this might occur? -- Comments and information are appreciated. Flames, rants, and other miscellany are routed to /dev/null.
