Default Upgraded all ports, now slow and unresponsive X

Running FreeBSD 8.3

I did

Code:
# portsnap fetch
# portsnap extract
Code:
# portmanager -l -u
Which took several hours

The result is that everything works except xorg is extremely slow and unresponsive in both xfce and openbox. I can type text in a web browser or open a program and there is obvious delay - moving the mouse causes all the text to appear at once or the opened program to appear suddenly.

So I tried the nv driver instead of the nvidia driver - no change.

I then decided to remove and reinstall xorg, xserver and drivers - no change.

I also removed and rebuilt cairo - no change. (I did this based on personal experience with libcairo bugs in linux)

I did all of this from the ports tree using

Code:
# cd /directory/for/port
# make deinstall
# make rmconfig
# make clean install
Also I had added the following to /etc/rc.conf

Code:
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
And this had been working fine, now after upgrade I once again need a mouse section in xorg.conf.

Any help or advice much appreciated.
