X memory leak?

(Take 2 from the right email address this time...)

On my work computer, I noticed things moving a bit slow... so I run top
to figure out what might be taking up resources...

top - 11:00:47 up 23 days, 14:53, 18 users,  load average: 0.97, 1.30, 1.07

Huh?

Why the heck would X be taking up almost a gig of total memory?

I'm running Mandriva 2006 and xorg-x11-6.9-1.cvs20050915.2mdk on a
relatively beefy system with a gig of RAM... Using Enlightenment for the
desktop and running Mozilla, Konqueror, xmms, and a bunch of Eterms, and
4 epplets on 4 virtual desktops.  X should NOT take that much virtual
memory.

Anyone have any ideas?
