Xorg causes high CPU load

[kmarien]

When I check system processes as root with:

su -
gnome-system-monitor


I notice that Xorg is consuming a lot of cpu.

Variables between 6 and 75 % of cpu load at an interval of a few seconds.
I even get some cpu loads near 100%.

This causes my system to function properly.


Please help.
