Title:
  Xorg eats processor cycles while waiting for slow Internet

Status in X.Org X server:

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Top shows that xorg is using >40% of CPU when there's no reason for it
  to be doing so.

  High CPU usage by xorg seems to be associated with slow/flaky
  Internet, e.g. slow sending of email with Thunderbird or slow loading
  of Launchpad in Firefox over a WiFi connection.  It seems like xorg
  goes mental until it receives notification that the Internet transfer
  has completed successfully.  At least Thunderbird and Firefox are
  involved, wget doesn't cause the same problem.

  I'm using an up-to-date Hardy (64-bit) on a Sony Vaio SZ650 (intel 965
  graphics) and iwlagn / iwl4965 WiFi.
