According to top, during the drawing, OroboROX jumps to around 15%,
GIMP to 30% and Xfree86 to over 50%. During this time, the system is
responsive. When I let go of the mousebutton, OroboRox jumps to over
30% and Xfree86 to almost 70% while Gimp happily drops almost to zero
%. This lasts around 10 seconds, during which the computer is
unresponsive (i.e. workspaces cannot be switched, although mouse
cursor moves and GKrellm graphs animate, for example). All keypresses
and mouseclicks generated during these 10 seconds are accepted and
handled after these 10 seconds.
