Hi Bart,
hi Doug,

It does not matter which page is being displayed.
The head lines of prstat during normal operation:
PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP
27671 jens 83M 22M sleep 59 0 1:16:33 0.9% gnome-terminal/2
27473 jens 133M 113M sleep 59 0 23:23:54 0.9% Xsun/1
27661 jens 69M 14M sleep 59 0 0:21:52 0.3% metacity/1

27732 jens 104M 28M sleep 49 0 1:14:47 0.2% java/14
...
Total: 115 processes, 270 lwps, load averages: 0.15, 0.17, 0.15
And again the head lines during switching the window focus from Mozilla
to some terminal window:
PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP
27473 jens 133M 113M sleep 50 0 23:24:09 31% Xsun/1

...
Total: 115 processes, 270 lwps, load averages: 0.27, 0.20, 0.16
vmstat 2 displays the following during "normal operation":

and this during a window focus change:
0 0 0 3181336 110360 0 204 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 979 1728 774 39 4 57

The workstation this is running on is a SunBlade 2000 with 2 750 MHz processors
and 1 GB of memory. There are two graphic cards in the workstation, one XVR-500
and a GFX-8P.
With respect to the vmstat output I'd not say that there is a memory shortage.
However, why does Xsun consume so much CPU percentage during a "simple" window
focus change? Could it also be the graphic card driver? The tests done during
writng this mail were done on the GFX-8P only.
If not yet installed the latest Xsun patch 119059-13:
