Maybe enable glitz option in cairo will helping, but that's complete  
guess. Denise, you can edit in src/load-graph.cpp (646 line) by change  
from:

	g->frames_per_unit = 5;  // this will be changed but needs initialising

To:

	g->frames_per_unit = 1;  // this will be changed but needs initialising

It will reducing the CPU from 20% to between 4%-7%, but the graph won't be  
smooth as before. There has bugzilla about this issue:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507797

I didn't read all replies in there. It's not FreeBSD specific, btw.

Cheers,
Mezz
