This has been an ongoing issue with X11 compositers like marco, unity and cinnamon etc... Ifind especially with an Nvidia GPU that as the system runs longer after a number of weeks or a number of months the GUI just gets slower and slower. It's not something you'll instantly notice but just a hint of lag here or there that gets worse.
One hint you'll find is by watching nvidia-smi and checking the utilization you will start seeing random spikes of 80-100% even without maxi........
I used to believe that for Desktops especially that the "ondemand" CPUfrequency changing that kernels included with Ubuntu and Debian based distros have would be sufficient for snappy performance.
However, you can feel the lack of performance on the fastest computer if you have ondemand. A lot of times even under high load 100% of your CPUfrequency in MHz will not be used.
For example a 2.8Ghz CPUmay only run at 1.8MHz or even .9GHz. Now........
So you've got a responsive site with tables but it breaks them so anything not viewable on the screen is now cut off.
Here is a simple solution that will allow users to scroll horizontally so they can see the whole table:

I thought only a faster CPUand SSDwould help but I already have a Quad-Core CPU and it wasn't being maxed out. The actual tests were performed on an AMD-V enabled 128MB dual core VMWare container though.
There is a flag that can be passed to make in order to start multiple threads, by specifying 4 threads I was able to reduce the whole kernel compilation time from scratch by about 50%! (65minutes vs 31minutes!). *Yes I did do a make clean before each co........
