I solved this problem by using the xorg-edgers ppa. Now xorg hovers around 150MB, which is way better than 500MB. The problem is that this is not really a fix, and xorg-edgers comes with it's own host of issues. I've been using it with out issue for a week or so, but with ppas like this that could change any minute...
