This behaviour is mostly reproducible for me with xserver-xorg-video-intel
2:2.3.2-2+lenny6 on amd64, gnumeric 1.8.4-1 and newer, including current
subversion trunk. (X process load goes up significantly, but doesn't get
above around 75%)
As best as I can tell, it is tied to the way gnumeric highlights the region
after "Copy" is selected. Pressing Escape stops the highlighting and brings
the X server process down to normal load levels.
