I am trying to use the latest kernel, but have noticed
some changes in the X environment. Simple text output
has become CPU intensive.For example,
"ps aux" in a gnome-terminal can force the X server
process into 70% CPU usage as monitored by top. The
output is bursty and can slow to a crawl sometimes.
I first noticed this using 'menuconfig' in the linux
sources when screen redraws seemed to take a long time.
Has anybody else had similar experiences? Any suggestions
what to try next?
Thanks.
OS: linux 2.6
