Hello Leann Ogasawara!

First I further investigated the symptoms: The 2.6.24 kernel switches
between a "good" and a "bad" state. I can tell them apart by looking at
the CPU-diagram in the lower right. As long, as the yellow line touches
the blue area of cpu/user, everything works as expected. But if there is
a thick brown divider of cpu/sys between blue and yellow, I experience
all the described problems.

Though the screenshot includes the table of KSysGuard, I could not
really relate the brown area to the "System %"-column. During
"bad"-state XOrg would take up to 8% and a bunch of other applications
use 1 or 2 %. But in "good"-state, this did not drop to zero as one
could think by looking at the graph (I admit, it significantly reduced:
Xorg 3% and maybe 2 apps 1% each).

To get a clean and stable diagram I had my finger on the touchpad constantly 
shifting the mouse a few pixel here and there. The width is approximately 4 min 
30 sec. Against my expectations, I found those two states quite stable. It 
would not switch all by itself. To trigger a switch I had to do some trivial 
actions like:
- trigger a tooltip
- scroll a window
- switch active app via Alt+Tab
