Anyone else think X has a performance problem ?

You're correct of course. I posted some observations and I have
hypothesized that I am seeing an X performance regression. I was hoping
that someone would have already done the hard work and would have an
explanation for what I'm seeing.
The next step is to measure the performance of different versions of X
on an otherwise stable platform. That's what I'll be doing this weekend.
Now I just need to figure out how to get "old" X running on F10.
