It's weird. I tried a modified xorg.conf with just the "AccelMethod" "XAA" and that ran as crappily as before (20-50% cpu time for X).
I decided trying to re-install vanilla Jaunty (quite radical solution, but I figured I might have some crap installed I didn't remember and wanted to exclude that).
The only alteration to xorg I have right now is: Driver "radeon"
I can live without compositing, but it still bugs the hell out of me, what the high cpu usage of X was.
Here's hoping that someday compositing on R300/R350 chipsets will work again sometime, I know it did under intrepid.
Thanks Raphael
