Might it be the offscreen compositing stuff somehow? If there is something like this floating around in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

try setting it to Disable and restart X.

Looks like it is a xorg bug such that it does not set MTRR reducing AGP
performance by 2X:

Explains why I am seeing this recently too as xorg 7.0 was installed late August. Fixed in xorg 7.1

I submitted a bug to redhat
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217446

After manually setting /proc/mtrr, xorg cpu usage has dropped from 70% to 20%.
