Dunno, but maybe you can disable what it measures. Do your xterms make entries in wtmp (listed by "w" and "who")? Is so, ISTR that xterm has an option to not do that (look for "wtmp" in the manual IIRC). See if disabling that helps.
"w" and "who" look at "/var/run/utmp".
"last" looks at "/var/log/wtmp".
Thank you for this correction, brain fade on my part.
You can use "xterm*utmpInhibit: true" in "~/.Xresources" to prevent xterm from updating utmp. But it's hard to believe that this is what's messing with the other Tom H's system. Maybe...
