Window draws a bit delayed? (Intel video card)

System information (the intel stuff is from testing, but this problem described below happens also with the normal packages from extra):

 _____/[shadowkyogre@myhost|13:14:06|Fri Nov 05 2010]\______________)
(_/[~]\_____________/(($)>--< lspci|grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
 _____/[shadowkyogre@myhost|13:43:08|Fri Nov 05 2010]\______________)
(_/[~]\_____________/(($)>--< bbis mesa
local/intel-dri 7.9-1
    Mesa DRI drivers for Intel
local/libgl 7.9-1
    Mesa 3-D graphics library and DRI software rasterizer
local/mesa 7.9-1
    Mesa 3-D graphics libraries and include files
local/mesa-demos 8.0.1-1
    Mesa demos and tools

Xorg packages related to this problem:

local/xf86-input-aiptek 1.3.1-1 (xorg-input-drivers)
    X.Org Aiptek USB Digital Tablet input driver
local/xf86-input-evdev 2.5.0-1 (xorg-input-drivers)
    X.org evdev input driver
local/xf86-video-intel 2.13.0-4 (xorg-video-drivers)
    X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers
local/xorg-server-compositing-fix 1.9.2-1 (xorg)
    X server with a patch that reverts commit 8d7b7a0d71e0b89321b3341b781bc8845386def6 wich caused artifacts when using compositing window managers

It happened just recently, though I can't recall which package caused this. Sometimes, whenever I'm doing something in a window, like typing, the window would pause for a moment before whatever input I gave it is displayed. I've tested this various window managers and DEs, and it doesn't matter which WM or DE I use. Is anyone else experiencing these delayed input problems, and if so, what Xorg version, video card, and driver version are you using?
