Have you tried renicing the server to priority 0 or even 10?  The
default nice value is -10 on kernels earlier than 2.6.

One way to adjust this is with "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common".

Dear bug submitter,

Since the XFree86 X server is a large and complex piece of software, some
more informtion is required of you before this bug can be handled.  Please
run the following commands from a shell prompt to gather and deliver this
information to us:

$ /usr/share/bug/xserver-xfree86 > /tmp/output 3>&1
$ mailx -s "Re: Bug#237717" 237717@bugs.debian.org < /tmp/output

If you do not have a "mailx" command on your system, you can get by
installing the "mailx" Debian package; for example, with the "aptitude
install mailx" or "apt-get install mailx" commands as root.  Alternatively,
you can also use a mail command that is compatible with mailx's
command-line syntax, such as "mutt".

Thank you!
