[Bug 297143] Re: Xorg eats processor cycles while waiting for slow Internet

[Yoey]

So I just solved this issue by installing "ATI binary X.Org driver" from
Ubuntu Software Centre (for some reason drivers weren't showing up in
the normal System > Administration > Hardware Drivers.

However I no longer have any desktop effects but I don't really care.

Note that even before I installed this driver, disabling desktop effects
did not fix the problem.

I guess this means that the problem is something to do with the default
radeon driver (I have a radeon x800) and/or some special way in which
thunderbird displays.
