Hi Adam, I do have a testcase, I decode/render video with NVidia's VDPAU constantly, over time the system becomes really sluggish, a simple comand like "ls" will take about 30 sec to process. I have been trying to find out what causes this, I run my application within valgrind and it doesnt report any memory leak. Upon some searching online , I found people going thru similar experience and it seemed to be caused by glx, and still happens after doing an update to xserver version 1.6.4 (thats how far I could go with ubuntu's repository xorg-edgers). I did compile xserver 1.8.9 but I am not able to see anything on the screen - perhaps nvidia kernel mode driver is not compatible with it ..
