<p>I am open to any ideas on this topic as well. From what I can basically tell, I am having some sort of CPU leak with XORG. I can restart X (no need to reboot) and my KDE becomes responsive again. But XORG starts at around 3% cpu and just keeps creaping up until it will sit over 60%. It is currently 27% from a restart last night.</p>
<p>I don't have kmix open. Disabling desktop effects doesn't appear to have an effect. Chrome vs firefox has no effect. Removing flash and replacing with gnash had no effect either.</p>
<p>Thanks!<br />Rusty Nejdl</p>

<p>To reply to myself...</p>
<p>I found a bunch of discussions of this affecting other distros besides FreeBSD. I was able to solve this by doing a combination of the following:</p>
<p>1) Stop using Oxygen windows decoration</p>
<p>2) Disable blur affecf</p>
<p>3) Update /etc/X11/xorg.conf:<br />Section "Screen"<br /> Identifier "Screen0"<br /> Device "Device0"<br /> Monitor "Monitor0"<br /> DefaultDepth 24<br /><br /> <strong>Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"</strong><br /><br /> SubSection "Display"<br /> Depth 24<br /> EndSubSection<br />EndSection<br /><br /><strong>Section "Extensions"</strong><br /><strong> Option "Composite" "Enable"</strong><br /><strong>EndSection</strong></p>
<p>So far, xorg sitting around 3% cpu now even with gnash going and actively using my desktop. Perhaps this might help others with performance issues?</p>
