I am getting this exact same problem, everywhere I googled, people said that Xorg is a server and it depends on the other programs if it's using too much cpu. In my case, i found out that if I mute the sound as soon as I start linux, Xorg keeps it's cpu usage under 5%.
Maybe it's not big help, but this could be usefull to pinpoint the problem. Is there any way I can see what programs are sending "things" to Xorg? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449196 Title: High Xorg CPU usage?
