I have the same problems when CPU usage is always 85-95% when nothing is running. Except the gnome-system-monitor. So I found out that it was gnome-system-monitor that caused such high CPU usage in Xorg. I used the command <code> top <code> in terminal while observing the system. As soon as I start gnome-system-monitor, Xorg usage spikes from 0.7% to 48% and drop back down when I close the application. Sooo, I don't know if it's true for everyone, but now I stopped monitoring my CPU usage all the time with gnome-system-monitor since its the beast behind all of this.
