I have tried this too with no apparent change.
I have installed (clean install, no upgrade)
Fedora and I still get the very same behaviour.
Is there a reference Linux distribution that
you guys use when developing or do you all
use a custom compiled kernel? If the latter,
what should I try to

The attached log is the one corresponding to the attached config.
Short answer:
same thing, still superslow.
Long answer:
That is indeed what I tried... after re-reading my initial post I
realised I didn't specify which X terminal was I using.
The numbers are pretty much the same regardless of the terminal I use
although the system seems slightly more
do you have any thoughs?

What happens if you disable 3D acceleration by commenting out

Actually the window in which I run top only refreshes when
the CPU is not maxed out. I'm trying to find a way of logging
to a file the CPU activity but it all seems to me that the X
process if eating all the CPU cycles.

Things I noticed:
1 - in XFree86.0.log the:

This would indicate that acceleration has been somehow turned off.

Hi Marc,
thanks for your help.

As I said, the CPU is normally idle. When I quickly drag windows on the
screen using my mouse, the CPU gets maxed out.
I cannot believe that the redraw speed is that slow regardless of themes
and such: I can see the windows being actually redrawn on screen when
I drag them around the screen.
FYI:

The problem I have is that I don't think I have 2D acceleration.

Marc,
If `top` shows that the server is not entirely to blame for the CPU load,
see if turning on backing store has any effect.
CPU is idle - CPU is maxed out when moving windows
swap memory is not used
less than 50% of available phisical memory is used

post the results.

try removing the videoram line from your config. the driver will
detect videoram fine.
