It's not slow because something is hogging the CPU, it's slow because
the tasklist and/or pager is grabbing X for a short period of time
every now and then.

Compile Fvwm with Gnome hints.. They changed the logic to "scan" the
desktop from deskguide+tasklist to being in the panel and
deskguide+tasklist asking the panel, so unfortunately it no longer helps
to just remove the deskguide+tasklist ..
