RE: XFree86 is eating my CPU!
I am only recently having this problem, too. I do have AA fonts
enabled, so I'm sure that is part of it. Is the bug just in the flawed
qt/kde AA support or is it the fault of X and/or the video drivers. I've
been using AA fonts for almost a year now and this problem has never
occurred until the last week or so with unstable. I haven't been able to
narrow the problem down.
I know that we're not supposed to file bug reports anymore about aa font
problems in kde, but I have always used them happily until now. What
gives? :)
Hmm I'm using an NVIDIA card in an AMD machine with a preemptive kernel
too! I'm having all sorts of fun as of late!

Anti-aliased fonts. Had that same problem last year (when using
Mandrake). Disabled AA fonts and response went back to normal.
