Hello,

A new version of xfree86 came out a few days ago and I was trying
to benchmark it using the x11perf program, x11perf -umove to be more
exact. This rendered my system unusable, the drive was going like crazy.
SysRq-E saved the day. Is this considered an acceptable behaviour?

kernel version 2.1.129
p133 with 64mb of ram and 32mb of swap space
