I used to see the same thing - if I killed X and restarted it, it would not peg the cpu anymore.
I removed the module load and X start from my startup scripts, and load them manually (thank goodness for the static buffers in new 0.3's - the dynamic buffers never let me get any more than 24 hours without a reboot) - and when loading manually I never see the pegging - I guess because I take longer between loading the modules and starting X than a script does. Try killing off X and restarting it. I will resurrect my old scripts and see if I still get the same behavior.
