So you've found that some use profile makes X use all the CPU.

need to find out _what_ in X is taking all the time. You need to either
use a tool like oprofile or sysprof to extract that information, or you
need to instrument the X server to report on what requests and clients
are using most of its time. The latter requires code changes to a
project that many people find intimidating and/or unpleasant to work
with, which is why I suggested using oprofile in the first place.
is xrestop at all useful in this situation?
