I usually don't use OpenGL VSync, but I turned it on, and tried the UseEvents
option. CPU usage is still consuming 100% on one of the cores.
I remember my other combo backend/frontend, it would show about 40% CPU for the
frontend process and about 35% CPU for the xorg process. So this was a bit
threaded. Now the frontend processes is consuming 100% CPU and xorg is only
consuming about 12%. So I really think a change was made in SVN that is causing
this.
