Hoary - GL screensavers appears slow now

[Jon Dixon]

Tried this after a slow screensaver appeared.

Here are the significant processes.

14819 hal       15   0  7272 5756 1596 S  5.7  1.3  97:07.84 hald
12845 jd01      15   0 39160  13m 8888 S  4.7  3.1   0:02.80 gnome-terminal
  6944 root      15   0 99.7m  22m 6260 S  1.3  5.0   7:44.39 Xorg
13807 root      25   0  1528  392  288 R  0.7  0.1  10:42.07 udevd
27794 syslog    25  10  1736  740  624 R  0.7  0.2   3:47.47 syslogd
30802 jd01      17   0  2076 1060  816 R  0.3  0.2   0:00.11 top

hald had been hovering just below 7% CPU just before I exited top.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jon
