My suggestions:

1. DebugWait / SwapbuffersWait: create the file
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with the following:

    Section "Device"
        Identifier "Intel"
        Driver "intel"
        Option "DebugWait" "true"
        Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false"
    EndSection

2. Add "i915.semaphores=1" to the kernel boot command line in 
/etc/default/grub/ E.g.:
     GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.semaphores=1" (then run 
update-grub and reboot).

3. turn off font anti-aliasing,
4. set the DPI for your screen correctly,
^^Unfortunately multiple sub-systems manageo both of those. Suggestions welcome.
