Summary [HAWAII] Running some programs, when HW acceleration is on, causes X to spike in CPU usage → unresponsive desktop
Severity normal

OS Linux (All)

Product Mesa

When running certain programs (eg. MediathekView) or watching recorded
broadcasts on Twitch, X starts going up in CPU usage and the desktop becomes
unresponsive, until you kill the stream or the program has finished its draw
operations (can take several seconds). Interestingly enough, YouTube videos are
not affected. In both cases I had HW video acceleration on (through settings in
/etc/adobe/mms.conf), without HW acceleration the plugin is just consuming
ridiculous amounts of CPU cycles.
The problem with Twitch is independent off chosen video quality.

My desktop environment is KDE 4.13.3 with desktop effects enabled (compositing
type=OpenGL 3.1, render target=native), disabling them has no effect on this
issue.

I haven't seen these issues with my previous HD7850 (also using Glamor),
therefore I think this is separate to bug 68524.

My stack is (base: Debian Testing):
GPU: Hawaii PRO [Radeon R9 290] (ChipID = 0x67b1)
