I have read all of the messages in succession .
No one of the messages are mentioning which software is running .

Please see my message as


http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2011-February/061672.html


Please read that message and compare with your case .


The above message is went as unnoticed , although the same problem is still
valid in FreeBSD
9.0 Current amd64 snapshots by Nathan Whitehorn and PC-BSD 8.2 and 9.0
Current amd64 snapshots .


The reason of slowness is as follows :

I have started x by startx , then started KDE by startkde in xterm .
The reason of slowness is the generated endless amount of error messages .

The GNOME is also generating endless amount of error messages
displayed on the xterm terminal when it is started from xterm after starting
X .

When KDE or GNOME is started by the .xinitrc or rc.conf , those messages are
NOT seen ,
but it is exposing itself as a very slow execution steps .


During generation of those messages , CPU and other fans fan are becoming
crazy .



I did not test i386 snapshots .


Thank you very much .
