Here : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96312 some people said this is caused by a "slow compositor" . In my case, it seems to me, these log entries are probably caused by a Xorg process running with 100% cpu blocking the UI for ~ 1 minute. This happens after animations played (e.g. progressbars), window resizing, scrolling, when I have many GUI apps open. I am still investigating.
