Personal experience/
I noticed that after a few days of uptime, my X session would begin to slowdown dramatically, especially when switching between windows; sometimes taking 2-5 seconds or more just to change active windows. I use VMware Workstation 5.5 quite frequently, and I noticed a pattern that the more frequently I switched between local X applications and virtual machines the more quickly my system would slow down. Looking back, I think this has been happening for quite a while (Edgy and Dapper), but I only noticed the pattern recently due to an increased usage pattern over the last few months. Before it just seemed "sluggish", now because of the heaver usage, my system becomes nearly unusable after a few days. I figured out that rebooting (starting a new X session) would cause the entire system to become highly responsive again! (Unfortunately, due to the very sad state of the ATI proprietary driver (fglrx), I cannot actually restart X without freezing the entire system, so I can't actually test just restarting X server. Yeah, I've tried several different releases, so I don't think that video driver is to blame here. It's actually better than it was; I'm very much looking forward to better ATI driver support.)
