I think I found the problem.  It's NaturallySpeaking 8.1.  I upgraded 
this machine from NaturallySpeaking 6 to 8.1 after testing it on another 
machine (where I never use X).  It's a very consistent.  If I'm running 
NaturallySpeaking, X consumes 70% of the CPU.  If I'm not, it's down 
around 0%

Frustrating, damned frustrating.

I expect it's not a fault of cygwin.  It's probably something related to 
how NaturallySpeaking monitors keystrokes for "natural text"; their tool 
for speech enabling most applications.  Unfortunately this tool has been 
horribly broken for almost 2 years and they haven't been willing or able 
to fix it.

I'll try some experiments to see if it's the same under XP as it is 
under 2k, if XP works, I'll shovel some money into the furnace of Redmond.
