[CentOS] Anyone else think the latest Xorg fix is hogging stuff?
Since the latest update (may wrap here), xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-26.el6.centos.0.1.x86_64 Sat 20 Jun 2015 04:16:01 PM EDT xorg-x11-server-common-1.15.0-26.el6.centos.0.1.x86_64 Sat 20 Jun 2015 04:15:58 PM EDT x264-0.0.0-0.4.20101111.el6.rf.x86_64 Wed 19 Nov 2014 04:56:05 PM EST xvidcore-1.2.2-1.el6.rf.x86_64 Wed 19 Nov 2014 04:55:49 PM EST . . . drop a lot of older stable stuff ... Xorg is competing heavily with FF for top hog on my system. In FF I understand because I had multiple windows (6 desktops) with many tabs. I know this would theoretically increase Xorg work as well but prior to this update I seldom saw it near the top of "top" PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4055 hardtolo 20 0 2165m 945m 49m R 95.9 12.0 3724:26 firefox 3119 root 20 0 276m 121m 34m S 34.0 1.6 2228:58 Xorg 15645 hardtolo 20 0 6163m 350m 26m S 10.6 4.5 181:50.51 java 5663 hardtolo 20 0 1557m 202m 24m S 9.6 2.6 294:53.69 plugin-containe 27871 hardtolo 20 0 1957m 520m 88m S 7.6 6.6 456:54.44 soffice.bin 18245 hardtolo 20 0 6228m 356m 26m S 7.3 4.5 112:09.55 java 14349 hardtolo 20 0 6228m 345m 26m S 5.3 4.4 143:59.97 java 9164 root 20 0 197m 51m 12m S 3.3 0.7 14:14.06 Xorg 4152 hardtolo 20 0 915m 28m 20m S 1.7 0.4 182:27.00 knotify4 27 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 1.0 0.0 28:58.96 events/0 12581 wild-bil 20 0 302m 14m 9.9m S 1.0 0.2 0:02.43 gnome-terminal 26741 hardtolo 20 0 15300 1420 892 S 1.0 0.0 0:02.47 top Anyone else pound the crap out of a desktop with FF and see Xorg getting "fat"?

Do you happen to know (recall?) if this is more or less in-line with what went on before the latest Xorg fix? I may not be doing too badly. I also run 3 users in three X sessions. Two have six desktops and one has two desktops. The last is my "idle" user, never doing anything, that sits on tty1 so I can have my active users like they were before the CentOS 6.6 upgrade - the first X session used to come on tty7 and did not screw up when switching run levels to/from 3 and 5 (bug open on CentOS, but I suspect not passed upstream?).

I had forgotten that the longer FF runs in my setup the more CPU it tends to use. And I assume this feeds through to demand on Xorg. I stopped FF, restarted and now see very reasonable numbers for it and Xorg, which no longer sits so high up in CPU usage.
