Hi.
I noticed the same when I installed LFS-6.1.1. Probably it's the same.
What happened to me is that xorg was running with a wrong priority. Before
kernel 2.6, distros used to run it with nice<0 to increase performance, but
with newer kernels and shedulers, this was not good anymore. So, in my boot
scripts, I run kdm like this:
nice -n 0 /usr/bin/kdm
It solved the problem. BTW, to check that your hard disk has nothing to do
with the lag, test xmms or the mouse or whatever while compiling a package,
with heavy cpu load.
