Hmm, I found out my problem is the XF86_SVGA server, it goes totally
wild when starwriter is run, causing the system to go into a tight
loop using all CPU cycles between system & user in the XF86_SVGA
process. If I use the XF86_S3V or Xaccel-2.1 (yes I'm on a ViRGE DX)
this problem does not surface.
So its not our problem, it belongs in the XFree86 camp :)
Phev!
