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.

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.

To reply to myself... 

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: 

1) Stop using Oxygen windows decoration 

2) Disable blur
affecf 

3) Update /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Screen"
 Identifier
"Screen0"
 Device "Device0"
 Monitor "Monitor0"
 DefaultDepth 24


OPTION "ADDARGBGLXVISUALS" "TRUE"

 SubSection "Display"
 Depth 24

EndSubSection
EndSection

SECTION "EXTENSIONS"
 OPTION "COMPOSITE"
"ENABLE"
ENDSECTION 

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? 

Sincerely,
