yo, i just found out, that when i first create the Gemwin and then start
rendering after some seconds, it works without any problems. the
cpu-peak seems to appear only, when the gemwin is created. rendering
itself doesn't harm the cpu more, as it would do without 'sync to
vblank' enabled.
when switching workspace, while rendering is on, cpu is pegged again and
x reacts only very slowly.
