Title:
  After a while X becomes quite slow

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I am not sure if it's bug of xserver-xorg or other package. The
  problem: after reboot everything seems to be fine, scrolling within
  windows, moving windows are smooth and fast. After some time however
  everything becomes quite slow, eg output in gnome-terminal which made
  the content scrolling can bee seen when refreshing, even an editor
  (like geany) is slow when you move the cursor, moving windows is also
  slow and "jerky". A reboot (or logging out then in, it seems) cures
  the problem but after a while problem return. I am not sure if it's
  related, but /var/log/Xorg.0.log is full of lines like this:

  [191341.166] (II) intel(0): switch to mode 1920x1080@60.0 on VGA1
  using pipe 0, position (0, 0), rotation normal, reflection none

  For example now I have 107 lines like this.

  I am using daily updated Ubuntu 14.10 (32 bit), and it's a problem
  experienced since some weeks (I can't tell more precisely, sorry), I
  haven't seen this before, ever. Also, Xorg seems to use quite lot of
  CPU (according to top), at least more than usual, but it's hard to
  tell exact numbers.

  Maybe related: I usually don't switch my computer off. Compiz seems to
  use more and more memory, according the top it used something like 4%
  (4Gbyte of RAM) but I also seend something like 22% after some days of
  uptime. Closing all windows on the desktop seems not to help so it's
  more like some kind of memory leaking?

  The only suspect log lines in the kernel log (dmesg):

  [   13.493187] [drm] Supports vblank timestamp caching Rev 2 (21.10.2013).
  [   13.493198] [drm] Driver supports precise vblank timestamp query.

  [   22.099959] [drm:cpt_serr_int_handler] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun

  However no screen corruption etc can be seen, just slowness after a
  while.
