You can't really tell some process to use certain CPU amount. Maybe there are some applications that made your X server to consume lot of CPU, I suggest that you restart the X server, if applicable. If you are working in SMP environment, you can use the package "schedutils" to bind certain process to 1 CPU, thus reducing the possibility of eating all of your CPU resources.
