I'm using the nv driver on my laptop with FC5.  Recently (last couple weeks) I noticed that X is REALLY slow at times and it appears to be due to /usr/bin/Xorg consuming vast amounts of memory causing the machine to swap.  I have 512M of RAM so it should be adequate.

  PID TTY      STAT   TIME  MAJFL   TRS   DRS   RSS %MEM COMMAND
3046 tty7     Rs+   17:46  37411  1739 286624 224428 28.9 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -aud
it 0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth vt7


Even after a reboot it doesn't take long for memory usage to go back up to this.  I don't use this laptop often, maybe only every other day, but I never noticed this when I first upgraded to FC5, only in the last 2 weeks or so.

Has anyone else seen this problem?
