Observed xfbbd CPU load was 7-14%, sometime peeking even higher. It is now less than 1%. This patch has been backported to versions 7.04o2 and 7.04p2 Here are two important recommandations : boot kernel in single processor mode (online grub command : nosmp) On 64 bit systems, add N 1 parameter in forward script to preclude forward compression.
