After upgrading to the latest packages as of Mar 5, 9:00 am X seems to
consume about 50% of the CPU time ...

Both top and gkrell report this.

If I run my folding@home and seti@home clients, I get weird reports of
CPU time on top, like this:

I really like the idle part, I would like to really have so much idle,
so I can crunch some numbers ... ;-)
