After a few days my Xorg will have gobbled up most of my RAM and I have
to restart it to get my laptop out of VAX11/750 emulation mode.

Has anybody else noticed this ?

I don't run an X11 on a 7-current system. My 6-stable does certainly
not show this, the X11 server with Firefox is up for ages.

It is also unusual that you actually see that much of a slowdown,
which means it is not a plain memory leak (in which case the leaked
pages would never be touched again, swapped out and not impact
performance too much).

Can you post the memory map?
