Public bug reported:

I am experiencing cpu usage spikes with xorg where everything will lag
for about a second.  Seems to happen every minute or few.

Other possibly related symptoms:
  Seeing flickering of the mouse pointer when it's over certain interactive 
fields or just at the top of my laptop monitor.
  Experiencing screen tearing in a diagonal line across second monitor
  When I set up the second monitor, backgrounds fail to display.  Changing 
background fixes.
  Sometimes the second monitor just starts flicking off and on.

Setup:
Just upgraded from 16.04 to 16.10 (didn't see any of this on previous version)
Using a second monitor connected via display port
USB mouse and keyboard connected.
