(note: I sent this out last night but it didn't seem to appear. Forgive me if this is a duplicate post) I'm not sure what has happened but relatively recently I've noticed that the X11 server is consuming inordinate amounts of CPU (70%+) even when it is not doing anything. I've upgraded to

this is not directly related to cygwin/X11 but it will be something that comes up once in a while. Sometimes performance just sucks. sometimes I will sit there and watch applications redraw bits over 10s of seconds. Yet on my ethernet interfaces, I have no errors, machine load averages are

every so often, something triggers a bug in Xwin which makes the cursor vanish but only over an Xwin window. Only way to get back is to restart the X server (and windows). another odd bug is that I noticed emacs tends to bleed through and pop up either ToolTips messages or menus even though a
