[mythtv-users] xorg high cpu usage

I'm building a new front end, and I'm having trouble with xorg.  I'm
getting high cpu usage, even just in the menu structure.  100% cpu for
5-10 seconds when goto the watch recording and using up all available
cpu when watching recordings as well.  I've got an nVidia 8400 PCI
card, and everything seems ok in the xorg logs.  I've tried a variety
of drivers/kernel modules from 173-180, all with the same problem.
Here are the relevant sections of my xorg.conf, thoughts?:

Section "Module"
    Load           "glx"
    Load           "extmod"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"

    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    Option         "dpms"
    Option         "DPI" "100 x 100"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "nVidia Inc. 8400"
    Driver         "nvidia"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen 1"
    Device         "nVidia Inc. 8400"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "NvAGP" "1"
    Option         "RenderAccel" "True"
    Option         "UseEvents" "True"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1920x1080"
    EndSubSection
EndSection
