Hi Chris, You saying "...I had to upgrade xorg (long story)" gets my antennae twitching. Perhaps you could expand on that a bit. My first place to look would be: /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see if anything goes awry when X starts. I updated xorg the other day with zero problems but there again I rebuilt all my ports (using poudriere). You're barking up the wrong tree suggesting software bloat in the case of X is the problem. A regression? Maybe. But X becoming incredibly slow due to bloat in a point-release? No. You don't mention how you go about rebuilding your ports or what your video hardware (and associated driver) is.
