Well, I cannot really reproduce that here. Could that be related to
some fancyness you're Xorg driver dislikes?
For reference, I'm running xserver-xorg-video-ati
1:6.8.1~git20080528.faea0088-1 on a ATI Technologies Inc Radeon
Mobility M6 LY (basically a Radeon 7000 with 16MB RAM). My CPU is at
600MHz and completely idle.
Do you use XAA or EXA acceleration? The later is told to be more CPU
intensive on some chips.

There were reports, that PokerTH is terribly slow on an G4 iBook under
OS X - that might be related (but I don't really think it is).

I hope you can find some more details. Btw, does it happen allways when
the PokerTH window has focus, or only when it's your turn and it waits
for your action. And how about network/internet games, same usage?

Regards
Evgeni
