recent xserver using a lot more RAM and is noticably slower.

To save battery life I lock both the graphics card and CPU into there lowest frequency settings. This was fine with little performance impact. However after a recent X server upgrade it has started using substantially more ram (around 5~ meg, use to be around 1). Also Firefox, and even Xterm and Vim now scroll very badly. Is there anything I can do about this, without raising the CPU/GFX frequency.

Thanks.

Bump.
