XFree86 using high CPU load

[xenomage]

Hi All,

having this problem with XFree86.

Every once so often (every 2 days), load average of my linux ES 3.0 will hit a high of :-

load average: 5.20, 4.65, 2.94

Linux rpptweb01 2.4.21-4.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:31:21 EDT 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

Upon checking on the processes via top, i found that process X is using the bulk of the resources.

After about 5mins of such high CPU load, it will go back to normal.

Need to find out what is wrong. Anybody? Thanks!!

This can happen when your system has run out of memory and starts using the swap space a lot. It's probably time to upgrade your RAM.
