The only difference is that Xorg includes a few fixes to some chipsets that happened before the licensesing change of XFree86. So some things work slightly better. Ohh! there are also drivers changes to in how they are setup... mainly in regards to tablets... Xorg does not have things like ACECAD integrated into the mouse driver it is still a seperate driver, like in older versions of XFree86. As far as stability, speed, and ect, I have not noticed difference between the two on the nvidia cards I have. >From the look of things on the X11 list, XFree86 4.4 should be hitting the ports shortly.
