Public bug reported:
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.

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