Public bug reported: At first I thought it was a specific game (Minecraft) that had problems but I tried other games just to be sure. And yes it happens in all openGL games I've tried.
I start an openGL game. Depending on the game, then after few minutes and up to half an hour the game freezes. I switch to an console and do a "sudo top" where I can see xorg takes up 100% where it normally only takes a few % while playing. It has an odd pattern where the first time it freezes or slows down to about 1 fps the game recovers after about 10-20 sec. Then in less than a minute it happens again and this time it either closes the game windows or I have to restart xorg from a console with the "sudo service lightdm restart". Play minecraft -> after 10-20 min slows down to about <1 fps -> recoveres after about 20 sec -> 1 min later crashes and the xorg process uses 100% until process is restarted. Just to be clear I did not have this problem before I upgraded from 14.04 LTS.
