I think it's probably the pasteboard, but it could be something in  
quartz-wm.  I think those are the 2 areas that deal with  
active/inactive messages.

Thus far I haven't been able to duplicate the CPU load problem.  These  
days I mostly use XQuartz for GLX testing, and testing changes to  
XQuartz.  I don't run XQuartz for a long period of time, and it would  
probably help to do so again, with more apps.

What apps do you have running when it occurs?

Is there a certain pattern you have to start the apps in?

Does it always happen with the same set of apps running?

Does disabling the Pasteboard proxying affect the problem at all, or  
toggling it, while the cycle causing the CPU load occurs?

Are you using xclipboard, or Klipper?  Do you have anything starting  
automatically via the startup scripts?

It might help to get a sample of the X11.bin.
