Problems

Problem 1: high CPU usage of WindowServer process.

After a few days of usage since OS boot scrolling becomes sluggish, dragging things with cursor (or even selecting text with cursor) gets laggy/delayed feedback. When doing some activity (like alt-tabbing between windows or just scrolling something up and down) processes named WindowServer consumes >80% CPU.
