I just looked at my activity monitor, and I don't have that warmd process. I'm using a 2012 macbook air.

I wonder if the display port is actually having problems. Here's another thought, if you're running lion or mountain lion on the mini that's having problems, try booting in to recovery. Does voiceover have problems there? If so, you can be pretty sure that it's not a process causing the problem.
