Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Upgrading from Ubuntu 9.04 (stable, fresh install) to 9.10 (stable, net install) causes Xorg consume at least ~25% of CPU.
The problem persists at each time I start Ubuntu and the situation gets worse each time other applications are running: it can get to consume 100% of CPU making the system almost unusable. For that reason I'm sorry in advance for not have been the possibility to evaluate other bug reports (just because it's quite a nightmare to write this report too...).
Yesterday I made a movie whith the best performing session since when I upgrader to 9.10 three or four days ago. That's the link:

Before upgrading everithing was fine on my Acer Aspire 5730z.
Thanks for your attention.
