Desktop freezes occasionally and recovers after around 10s in 2.6.35-2

Top shows i915 is taking 100% CPU. The system is a thinkpad SL410, running latest versions of Xorg, intel-video, openbox + xcompmgr. Killing xcompmgr seems to resolve the problem.

No such issue while with 2.6.34. Perhaps some conflicts with out-of-date xcompmgr and the newest i915 features in 2.6.35?

New update - freezing still happens without xcompmgr...

Try out xcompmgr-git.
