some more info on this issue:

just open 5-10 terminals. Everything else is closed. and see how the xorg usage 
goes up. 
It appears to be not in terminals issue, just ANY window. More opened windows 
cause more cpu usage on xorg. 

5-10 opened windows is enough to cause lags.

killing compiz brings xorg down to the usual 5% But Unity is useless without 
compiz. 
Probably this issue is on nvidia card+compiz  since I didn't notice it on 
intel. 

I don't use nouveau, using the proprietary drives.
