Well, I worked on my air compressor and played in the dirt in my garden 
for a while and now I get this again:

2 frames in 7.6 seconds =  0.263 FPS
2 frames in 7.7 seconds =  0.259 FPS


I don't know what the issue is but it is getting on my nerves.  I have 
not even logged out of KDE and it is slow again.  The only thing I have 
done was to downgrade gtkam to see if the old version crashes too.  
Nothing else has been messed with since this morning.

Any ideas at all?  I'm about ready to do a emerge -e world and see if 
that helps.  It's getting cool so I could use the heat anyway.
