As of 4.4-beta (dmesg below), X has become sluggish on my Thinkpad X40.
Switching between tabs in Firefox takes about 2 seconds now. Starting a
new xterm takes about a second which before was instant. Switching
between "desktops" in cwm results in a one second delay between drawing
the outline of xterms and actually populating with text.
Playing audio files with vlc while switching between firefox tabs causes
no pauses in the audio stream.
xorg.conf hasn't changed since april 13 and I've upgraded to various
snapshots weekly times since then.
Running top shows that Xorg uses about 10% cpu and firefox around 20%. I
don't recall either going that high before. Running X and firefox for a
few minutes causes the fan in my X40 to start spinning faster: There's
more work being done somewhere.
I can reproduce this scenario with no .xsession and with an .xsession
that starts cwm. .xsession-errors only contains text related to ssh key
agent.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this situation? (Short of going
back in time and building incremental changes from CVS).
