If you need > any logs or anything please ask. This is lacking a bit of data. Do you have GNOME, FireFox, KDE, anything, running when you took that sample? X itself doesn't need much memory. The applications interacting with the X server make it allocate more memory. So please if you think X is leaking or overconsuming memory, bring forward more informations.

Re: LBX? or faster remote X?

I think even I can safely say that LBX is considered to be deprecated.

I have not tried LBX but I must say that SSH compression does improve performance noticably.

Re: Xorg process takes too much time cpu
Thank you for taking the time to do this analysis. While I agreed his bug report was exceptionnaly vague, I was also saddened by the kind of answer he got from the list. "Andrew Haninger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > 1) Automatic updates installed new nVidia drivers, breaking OpenGL on > his system and causing a slowdown. (Pretty possible.) One could check if Ubuntu Studio has updated the Nvidia driver recently. The UbuntuStudio repositories seems to be down right now so I can't check. If that is the source of the problem, another update could have solved it already. > 2) A vulnerability was exploited on his system and someone is using it > for spamming or other network attacks that consume large amounts of > CPU, slowing things down. (Not too likely, I'd think, but not > impossible.) Ubuntu has no service enabled by default so this is very unlikely. A newbie could still have installed a mail server as a dependency of something else though. I don't know about services enabled on Ubuntu Studio, but the scope of the distribution makes me think it's unlikely they have any service enabled. > So hopefully he'll write back (to the list!) with more info so that > someone can help, but give him at least one chance. (After that, oil > up the trebuchet and lob his flaming request back at full speed!) I somehow doubt he'll write back. His problem might even be fixed right now.
