Just a thought is this something that should be deleted? This seems to be using about 7% of my RAM

No no no no no. You still want a GUI, right?

I dont know what a GUI is but sounds like I should leave this alone and maybe it should be there. Thanks

It is your graphical interface. If you delete it, you're hosed. Wikipedia knows:

The idea of the horror on the faces of everyone who read this post.
Its kinda like going to a Windows forum and saying "you know explorer.exe is eating a lot of RAM, can I just delete it?". Not exactly the same thing (Windows would be much more easily recoverable than the N900) but still, its the kind of thing where everyone in the room in tandem goes "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" at the same time.
I did check though out of curiosity, if you had killed xorg it simply triggered a shutdown and safe reboot. Probably the safest course of action if it crashed for some reason. Now deleting it on the other hand, well I guess it would trigger the same but it would be an infinite reboot cycle.

Xorg/x11 is a set of libraries/protocols that allow drawing to the screen. (x11 is the name of the protocol, just like http is the name of the protocol used for www)
GTK, QT, OpenGL, Window Managers (matchbox2) and all the other UI stuff you hear about here all go on top of/through X11.
Without X11 on linux, your only other options are direct framebuffer access (the older Qtopia platform was also linux based and eschewed X11 for direct framebuffer access to reduce overhead) or just a console (text command line).
X11 also provides network transparency, making it possible to run apps on one machine, and have them display on another (like running openoffice on my desktop, but having the UI display on my n900)
As a fun sidenote, you can try using the framebuffer out option in mplayer on the n900 and watch x11 and mplayer compete for drawing the screen
