Thanks Mark.
Do you happen to know (recall?) if this is more or less in-line with
what went on before the latest Xorg fix?
I may not be doing too badly. I also run 3 users in three X sessions.
Two have six desktops and one has two desktops. The last is my "idle"
user, never doing anything, that sits on tty1 so I can have my active
users like they were before the CentOS 6.6 upgrade - the first X session
used to come on tty7 and did not screw up when switching run levels
to/from 3 and 5 (bug open on CentOS, but I suspect not passed
upstream?).
This is on my home-built box on an MSI 760GM-P23FX MB, SATA.

Do you/anyone think my Xorg CPU usage looks reasonable all things
considered or should I be looking for some "tweaks"?
