Optimize X11 server (Xorg)
From this I learned how to optimize the X11 server.
Create the file
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-intel.conf
with the
following content:
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "intel"
MatchDriver "i915"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Option "TearFree" "true"
Option "DRI" "3"
EndSection
When running xsnow, Xorg uses 60-70% cpu without this file. With this file, Xorg uses less then 15%.
