Mouse moving from host to guest and back laggy/choppy/high processor usage

I have a couple Ubuntu Jaunty 64bit machines running VMWare Workstation 6.5.3 that all just recently started acting extremely sluggish and pegging a processor when the mouse moves from host to guest or guest to host. It chops and skips for about 1-5 seconds until the "event" finishes whatever it is doing, then performance goes back to normal. Top shows Xorg as the process that pegs for a few seconds when switching from host to guest or back.

I know it seems to have started with some updates to Jaunty but I wasn't watching the updates list closely enough when they came through to verify when it started exactly.

Anyone have any ideas for diagnosing and fixing the issue?
