Perhaps you should post your startup script / process and what Cygwin
versions you have installed?
I think I found the problem. It's NaturallySpeaking 8.1. I upgraded
this machine from NaturallySpeaking 6 to 8.1 after testing it on another
machine (where I never use X). It's a very consistent. If I'm running
NaturallySpeaking, X consumes 70% of the CPU. If I'm not, it's down
around 0%
Frustrating, damned frustrating.
I expect it's not a fault of cygwin. It's probably something related to
how NaturallySpeaking monitors keystrokes for "natural text"; their tool
for speech enabling most applications. Unfortunately this tool has been
horribly broken for almost 2 years and they haven't been willing or able
to fix it.
I'll try some experiments to see if it's the same under XP as it is
under 2k, if XP works, I'll shovel some money into the furnace of Redmond.
