Yeah, I am seeing pretty much the same thing, but it's not localized to
X11.  Some other random things are seeing "pauses", like setfiles.  And
I have an ATI Radeon, so at least it isn't a problem with one particular
graphics card.

At first I thought the behavior was SELinux related, but it still
happens when I boot with SELinux disabled.  Haven't seen anything in any
of the logs though.  If I go back a couple of kernels, the problem seems
to go away.
