very slow Xorg and/or bash
Hello.
Since few days, say 4 or 5, my netbook is *really* slow when a terminal
starts. After taking a look with top, it seems that it's bash itself which
is the problem: it makes the terminal freezing for at least 15s on login,
and almost the same when using auto-completion.
There is also xorg, which uses constantly at least 10% of the CPU, if I
trust top ( at least, means that it is the minimal value ).
I have no idea about how to find the origin of the problem, this is why I
am not giving any real hint or suppositions.
I do not remember having updated anything particular ( but no doubt that I
did, otherwise I could not have such kind of constant slowness ).
I am using a testing/unstable/experimental debian, no DE.
wheezy's packages have priority 900, unstable ones only 200, except for
compilers ( Package: clang* gcc* g++* cpp* libgfortran* )

Any idea about the problem? Or at least any idea about what to look for to
have one?
I suspect some bash script, but the slowness is also with root, and I did
not changed anything by hand that could affect root since at least 2
weeks.
