I run in a dual-monitor environment. The second monitor is mostly tasked with running
video content. Live games from
mlb.com as well as the "slingbox" application in
Facebook to watch content from a Slingbox located in the US.
When everything is running normal the video is smooth and the Xorg process is showing
between 33%~40% CPU usage in "top". After sometime, maybe a day maybe longer or
shorter, the video will no longer be smooth and it seems like a "swipe" or
"scan" video from top to bottom. At that time the Xorg process is showing 90%+
usage in top.
Stopping the video application brings Xorg usage to less than 20%. But upon starting
again, it will go back up to 90%+. Restarting plasmashell will put things back to
normal.
Has anyone seen something similar?
