One thing --- could you check the size of /tmp/XWin.log after an hour or so of running? If it is large (i.e. greater than 10 KiB), then that is likely the problem; tell us which message is repeating in the log and we will fix it or disable it.
Other than that, I don't know what you could do to trace this down.

I seem to be having a problem, which resembles very closely to a memory leak
situation. I'm running Cygwin/Xfree on a Pentium 4 laptop with 512 Megs of
memory under Windows XP Professional. After about 4 hours of usage, the
computer runs so slowly that the only recourse that I have is to reboot.
After the reboot, all is well again for at least another 3 to 4 hours.
I am running all the latest versions of the Cygwin and Xfree code. As a
test, I used another X-Windows emulator to see if some other code was
causing the problem and the slow down problem did not manifest itself.
Has anyone else encountered this problem and, if so, what was the fix?
My typical usage is 4 to 6 remote sessions on Sun Solaris systems.
