Does it happen with an out of the box xmonad ? With no user config?

A month or so ago, I posted about some slow focus updates I was seeing in
xmonad.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/12074
I noticed another correlation when this is happening, and thought I'd jot
it down in this forum, in the hopes that it eventually contributes to a solution.
During the period when the focus is slowly traversing a lot of
intervening windows, I've found that I peg a CPU running the X server; My Xorg process goes to 99%CPU and stays there for the entirety of the delay.
I've been watching the X cpu behavior because I've also noticed that some
Firefox browser behavior will similarly peg the Xorg process for seconds at a time, and I was trying to suss that out.
I'm kind of free-associating here, but I'm wondering if xmonad's use of X
resources is leaving Xorg with a long list of [wumpus] that the X server can't collect or collapse or something, I have no idea what the wumpus might be, but...
