What's Hogging My CPU?

["John J. Boyer" <director chpi org>]

Hello,

In the last few days, when I start gnome with Gnopernicus, work on it for 
a while and then switch to a text mode console, everything will be all 
right for some time. I can switch back and forth between Gnome and text 
mode with no problem. However, after a while, something seems to start 
eating up most of my CP*U time. The blinking cursor produced by brltty 
slows down and odd characters may apopear, presumably on the screen. The 
odd characters go away, and after a while the cursor slowdown goes away 
too, but it reappears periodically. When I exit gnome normally the 
problems go away. What could be causing this? I would think that X must be 
stable, since it's been around for quite a while , so there must be some 
problem with Gnome.

Thanks,
John
