Hi Roderick,
Out of curiousity, what is your nvidia card ? I wonder if the problem is with 
specific chipset / card.
In general, X seems to use high CPU, and the desktop performance is rather 
sluggish. Your workaround works for individual application, I guess, but I'm 
not sure if there's a way to do that globally, or if it's even advisable to do 
that.

Thanks.
