Ian,

I didn't want to try to use that as the solution since that makes
everything in the OS use software rendering. Was really hoping for a better
solution than that.

>From my reading it looks like kicad is doing a bunch of context switches
between software rendering and hardware rendering which causes gnome, etc
to go amazingly slow (i.e. takes 30s to minimize chrome).
