Hi,
I have pretty much this exact same fault with Ubuntu Gusty, as soon as a
client (another Ubuntu Gusty machine) connects to the server, Xorg uses
near 100% CPU and performance is terrible - the server machine grinds to
a halt, and the client machine's remote desktop is sluggish.
The machines are two laptops, the "server" simply grinds to a halt as
soon as the "client" connects via vncviewer.
The problem defintely appears related to vino-server : As soon as it
starts handling a client request, the Xorg CPU utilization goes through
the roof.
Here is before/after top :

Can I try anything else to help debug this?
