I just fired up a 64-bit Ubuntu VM I had laying around, installed 
firefox, and tunneled it to cygwin64/X on my win7-64 machine. X isn't 
even visible in the task manager when I sort descending by PF delta, 
CPU, or memory. This in spite of having half a dozen tabs with content 
(including ads, an html5 game, and a youtube video playing).

Opening a couple dozen more empty tabs brought PFdelta up to the ~7k 
range, but the rate dropped back to ~0 as soon as the dust settled. 
Typing remains fully responsive, and I'm officially out of ideas.
