hello folks! I've done a fresh install of netbsd 9.3 with x11. I've noticed that the X11 server seems to use 5-10% of the CPU which is unusual. This also causes my fans to spin pretty annoyingly compared to a linux system, especially with a web browser open.

this is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. the high X cpu usage would seem to indicate i'm software rendering but I don't think so, considering that this cpu renders a lot slower than the igpu does and it's noticeable. this is confirmed by /var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://ix.io/4alq
i've also noticed similar problems under freeBSD - would any bsd veterans have any tips on how to fix this?
edit: ah, apparently the X high cpu usage happens when running supertux2 (an open source game available from netbsd's repositories), which seems to use a lot more cpu in and of itself on NetBSD than a typical linux system... but still, the fans seem to run more on netbsd regardless. any ideas why?
