I have noticed it getting worse with X 3.3.2 if that helps you any. I used to be able to restart X every 3-5 days, now I have to do it once a day or it wallows like a pig. I even tried compiling X from the sources and that seemed to help a little, but not much. I'd be happy to help with testing patches if you can track something down. I'm using 2.2.6-Stable.
