I also see xastir hogging the CPU all the time.  I run the same OS as
Jack.

This is under FreeBSD 4.9, both with XFree86-4.3.0 on my 700MHz PIII
laptop and with XFree86-3.3.6 on my dinosaur 300MHz PII desktop.  

My guess is that this might be related to the very different thread
implementations between Linux and BSD, but I don't know where to begin
looking for the culprit.
