Sort of in the FWIW category, may not mean a thing.

I did find something in 3.16.0 that is troubling me at times, causing a
very busy quad core Phenom. But I have located the culprit in my case.

Look at your Xorg.0.log. Because the nouveau bits in the 3.16.0 kernel I'm
using are no longer 100% compatible with an Xorg install thats now 5 years
old, I am generating Xorg.0.logs that can reach 500 megabyte or more in a
couple weeks. I am trying to run down the latest Xorg I can build here on
this *buntu 10.04.4 LTS box, but haven't located a URL to get the tarball
from. Yet, its been busy here.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
