This happens not only under X, but in normal vtys too. You can type
some keys, wait a few seconds, then the characters appear. After this, the
keyboard works fine (for a while). 

Under X (using xfce4), the mouse freezes for a few seconds in random
windows (indepedent of the program), then it jumps back up to life
after 2 to 5 seconds. This happens even when the mouse is currently
being moved (so it's not the X server being swapped in so somesuch).
The cursor freezes while in motion, and it reappears a few seconds later
an another location.

This is on a FreeBSD 5.3-BETA7 from Oct 5th.
