The "jerky mouse" fix should reduce CPU time, not increase it, as I think it eliminates the huge number of gettimeofday calls (expensive in FreeBSD) and replaces them with cheap call (which I forget) as the mouse was only using it to tell that time was passing and does not care what time it is. On my system (with hald not running), I see well under 1% cpu use by xorg. Note that some apps can really make xorg busy. Any flash running? Firefox (even ignoring flash) seems to do things that cause xorg utilization to go way up for certain operations. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
