Hi,

I've just noticed an extreme slowness in screen updates and window focus
changes on central, our 9.2 Sun test machine. I don't recall if this
was happening earlier or not.

It takes on the order of minutes for windows to refresh and get focus.
Top shows gnome-terminal taking from between 5% to 80% or so of the
cpu- the load seems to jump up suddenly when I move windows around
but it's hard to tell because the window running top tends to freeze too...

Is anyone else seeing this?
