[kde-freebsd] KMix in KDE 4.5.1 causing Xorg CPU usage to go up

I just upgraded to KDE 4.5.1 and I noticed everything start to become very
slugish. I looked at top(1) and noticed the Xorg process using about 20% CPU.
I didn't change any settings from KDE 4.4.5, but I tried disabling desktop
effects and the CPU usage was still high. I couldn't figure it out, so I
tried closing everything I could. I have always kept a kmix window open and
didn't think anything of it, but as soon as I closed it the Xorg CPU usage
went down to 0%.
I have kmix in the system tray and that doesn't affect anything. It only
happens when I click on the system tray icon and click the "Mixer" button to
show the window. I tried deleting the configuration files for kmix too. I
could just keep the window closed, but I like having it open since the system
try applet only controls the first device and I use the second device
freqently.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior? I can reproduce it consistently. I
haven't noticed any other apps so far doing this.
FreeBSD 8.0 i386
NVidia driver (GeForce 8600M GT)
KDE 4.5.1
all ports up-to-date at time of writing
Thanks,
Jason
