Hi, I have this REALLY weird problem right now. My whole X has suddenly started to be really slow. KDE used to be really snappy and nice to use, now it's really sluggish and slow to respond. I have really run out of ideas where this is coming from. I tried finding out what processes might hog the processor with ksysguard, top and ps but I had absolutely no luck. The only thing that ever uses about 30-40% processor time is X. The only weird thing was this, from the output of top: 1636 root 5 -10 187m 55m 133m S 7.5 11.0 10:09.30 XFree86 Why would X have used so much processor time, even though the machine is just up for two hours? I tried shutting down all unnecessary daemons, everything. Nothing improves this sluggishness. I don't know exactly when this started, it certainly wasn't associated with an update. I run Debian unstable with all the newest packages, including KDE 3.2.1 and XFree86 4.3. Does anybody have a suggestion here? I'm really running out of ideas...
