I think it may be becuase your CPU is trying to handle composition on twice the screen real estate. Have you tried using your graphics card to help out?

Perhaps you can try different options in your xorg.conf.
in Section "Device" for example. So the card won't care anymore about calculating what is not displayed on screen.Code:Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Or
in Section "Module" (use before Load "dri") for double buffering.Code:Load "dbe"
etc."To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday. From the 'old', you derive security; from the 'new', you gain the flow."
