I don't see how they help. The problem is that the X-server is in a situation where it has to wait for something to complete before it can continue, and it knows that it will take a long time before that something will complete. All it can do now is burn the CPU during that time. I'm assuming futexes are some interprocess mutex mechanism? If so, I don't see how this helps.
