Public bug reported:
Top shows that xorg is using >40% of CPU when there's no reason for it
to be doing so.
High CPU usage by xorg seems to be associated with slow/flaky Internet,
e.g. slow sending of email with Thunderbird or slow loading of Launchpad
in Firefox over a WiFi connection. It seems like xorg goes mental until
it receives notification that the Internet transfer has completed
successfully. At least Thunderbird and Firefox are involved, wget
doesn't cause the same problem.
I'm using an up-to-date Hardy (64-bit) on a Sony Vaio SZ650 (intel 965
graphics) and iwlagn / iwl4965 WiFi.
