After the recent upgrade to 8.10 via update-manager -d, my whole system is quite laggy.

Xorg now sits at the top of the cpu usage list constantly using 10 - 20%, whereas under hardy it would sit at 1-2%.

Opening programs can be at times quite slow, for instance, gedit can take 10+ seconds to open and load a txt file.

Xorg.0.log seems normal enough till the end where I'll get several lines like this:

AUDIT: Fri Nov 7 10:05:47 2008: 6071 X: client 4 rejected from local host ( uid=0 gid=0 pid=6545 )

System:
Linux WORKSHOP 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Nov 4 19:33:20 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
P4 3.4Ghz,
1 Gb RAM,
Nvidia 8400gs with the 177 driver

I'm not sure what other info is required, I'm sure someone will let me know...
