Thanks Valmor, I saw the thread.  I don't run KDE4 only xdm/fluxbox (although 
I run KDE4 applications individually).  In the past the odd xorg upgrade might 
have made things worse, until a new version came out and restored performance 
to a good/acceptable level.  This current deterioration in performance has 
been gradual since I think xorg 1.5.  All I can assume is that my hardware is 
so getting so old that it is becoming unsupported.
