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.

Code:
 /usr/ports/sysutils/atop ??
might help... unless some driver needs tweaking or some routing is unoptimized... (ipv6...)...

Thanks for the reply, I'll look into this later.

I also found this thread at the freebsd forums and OP describes the same problem I'm having accurately: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=9611

Ok, removed ~/.Xauthority ~/.Xresources and ~/.Xdefaults and now it all works fine. The last two files I had created to try and change the cursor theme (without success), I'm not sure they were related, so I'm guessing removing .Xauthority did it.

Well it's fixed but not that fixed...

The lag has cleared up, but the mouse still does not work in X. Oddly enough however, if I CTRL+ALT+F1 and CTRL+C the x server and restart it, the mouse begins to works normally - odd...

Anyone else had this problem?

Ok, I think it's really solved this time...

moused, which I wasn't using anyway seems to have been the root cause. Disabled it in /etc/rc.conf and now all is well.
