Hi,
I'm using F23-x86_64 on a Dell E6430 latitude laptop with NVIDIA adapter. Sometime in the last 2 weeks, a software update that got auto-installed is resulting in very slow screen unlocks. The screen lock itself is quick (no paging). But when I press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse, there is heavy paging activity on the laptop and it take 3-4 minutes for the password screen to appear. This happens 8 out of 10 times.
vmstat shows free mem drop dramatically from 5G to 46M during the unlock. The RSS size of Xorg grows from 49M to 7G!
The only workaround right now for me is to use wayland, where this problem does not occur. If anyone needs, I have detailed output from vmstat and another script that I wrote to see Xorg's RSS size grow. In case anyone has a workaround for Xorg server, please let me know. Should I be filing a bug for this ?
Best, Kapil

I saw the same thing on a Dell Optiplex 7010, which had a Radeon card and on-board Intel graphics. The problem went away when I removed the Radeon card, or when using xorg-x11-server-Xorg prior to 1.18.3-1.fc23.x86_64
