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?
