Package: linux-image-2.6.25-2-686
Version: 2.6.25-7
When Linux 2.6.25 has been running for a while (say, several hours)
xorg starts to respond more slowly and sporadically. Everythin seems
okay for a while after boot, or at least the effects are less
noticable. This is on a Dell laptop with a Core Duo CPU (not Core 2).
Just typing in an xterm right now I frequently get several characters
ahead of the display before it catches up. Logging into a vt instead
seems okay, so I guess it's just X that is affected.
System load average seems higher than it should be also.
kmsha...@kulgan:~$ uptime
06:40:35 up 12:53, 8 users, load average: 0.88, 0.93, 0.93
And this is what top is showing for me, no obvious CPU hogs or io wait
to cause that load:
top - 06:41:30 up 12:54, 8 users, load average: 0.70, 0.87, 0.91

This behaviour doesn't happen on 2.6.24. For my day-to-day work I've
gone back to using linux-image-2.6.24-1-686 (2.6.24-6) with no problems.
Apologies for the fairly vague bug report, but I'm at a bit of a loss
as to whan information to provide to assist.
Regards,
Kevin.

Ok, doing so.
