I'm beginning to become suspicious of the Nvidia binary drivers...
I periodically get the "X consumes 90% of CPU" problem; it's seemingly
random but... on my other system (which used to be my Myth box until
recently), X hangs consistently when starting KDE.  If I switch to the
"nv" driver, I have no problems (and also no OpenGL, so not really much
use for some things...)

If it is the driver, there's not much we can do, short of complaining
to Nvidia. Closed source drivers suck.
