I have same problem, It incredible slow when there is some other
activity (buildworld in background for example).

Looks like it requires too much pages to show input window, and all
theses pages thrown out while other activity and then loaded too slow.

I guess gdb will not help here, but I will try anyway.

Contrary, I xscreensaver popup password window relatively quick even
when there is heavy activity on machine.

I have Centrino 1.7 GHz with 512 Mb RAM ...

PS:
Sometimes I start panic while whiting screen-save window.
