Title:
  mouse usage causes Xorg CPU usage to spike, and mouse pointer becomes
  less responsive

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” source package in Lucid:
  Invalid
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  Over time, my mouse pointer becomes more and more erratic and
  unresponsive.  It never becomes unusable, but it gets jerky and hard
  to use.  If I run 'top', I can watch Xorg CPU usage spike in direct
  correlation to how much I move the mouse around (and the mouse
  performance gets worse while I'm doing this).  If I wave the mouse
  pointer around a lot, CPU will reliably hit 100%, and the pointer will
  be far behind my physical gestures with the mouse (and will continue
  to move for a while after I stop moving the mouse).  CPU climbs back
  down after I stop moving the mouse.

  When I first log in, everything is fine.  This problem gets worse the
  longer I stay in the same X Session.  I haven't tried logging out back
  to GDM and logging back in; if you need me to I can try that.

  Switching between windows / desktops is also increasingly sluggish.

  This is all on  Ubuntu lucid (development branch).

  I don't know if this is related to any of these bugs:
