1.5.2 is not that much better.
Changing tab in firefox 3 needs 2 s cpu time, of which >90% of CPU time is
spent in libexa.so functions exaOffscreenAlloc and exaOffscreenFree.

Because of the nature of the bug, it may be possible to alleviate the problem
by restarting X and all the apps every day or so...
But saner options are called for.

In exaOffscreenFree, O(N) algo:
        for (prev = pExaScr->info->offScreenAreas; prev; prev = prev->next)
            if (prev->next == area)
                break;

In exaOffscreenAlloc, O(N) algo:
        /* skip allocated areas */
        if (area->state != ExaOffscreenAvail)
            continue;

profile is not that interesting, each of these two functions burning 34% of the
CPU, but gstack says:
