I've seen this case plenty of times. Here's what typically causes it:
1) Load a webpage that either has lots of text to render or uses
javascript to continually re-render text.
2) Watch X and firefox burn up your CPU rendering fonts.
The only solution I ever found was to build firefox against GTK1 to
force it not to use Xft2 and Fontconfig...
No idea on the Xine issue.
