I used to play Team Fortress 2 via optirun with no problems. However, a
recent update from (K)ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 created some problems. Now,
it slows down incredibly every 10–20 minutes or so. For about 10
seconds, fps drops to 2–3 of frames per second. CPU usage seems low
during these moments. In addition, tonight I had the program freeze for
about 10 seconds, then drop to 1 frame per second for several minutes.
It was similar to when I originally troubleshooted optirun options, and
accidentally played the game from the Intel card, so I checked if
optirun was running.

Hence, it seemed that optirun had stopped working, as normally I get
> $ optirun --status
> Bumblebee status: Ready (3.2.1). X is PID 22937, 1 applications using

FWIW, if I have no optirun applications running, I always get the first
message.

Also, I'm not sure if important, but I run the game with
> LD_PRELOAD="libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1" __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1
> optirun %command%

Cheers,
Lee.
