Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

When using multiple keyboards simultaneously, high CPU usage can be
observed on the system:

S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND                                       
R   94  2.2   7:26.75 Xorg
R   22  2.3   0:12.56 xfwm4
S   10  0.0   0:05.02 dbus-daemon
S   10  0.1   0:04.27 xfconfd
R    6  0.1   0:02.34 xfce4-settings-
R    2  0.1   0:00.02 top

It appears Xorg is sending some kind of events to other system processes like 
dbus too. This slows down the system considerably.
This can be easily reproduced by connecting second USB keyboard and typing on 
both simultaneously. Using the keyboards separately doesn't cause this problem.
