hi,

I've posted this somewhere else but never got around for a solution or where to start troubleshooting.

The issue lies when urxvt terminal is displaying many files in color. xorg cpu usage jumps insanely. The cursor on the terminal slows to a crawl. Clearing the terminal with Ctrl-L brings things back to normal.

The same amount of files displayed on the terminal without colors doesn't exhibit this behaviour.

Happens with radeon and nouveau.

This in odd because terminal isn't using any graphics card intensive 3D or anything. I don't get it.

A game using 3D has X with less cpu usage than urxvt terminal with files colored.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem?
