Hello,
I don't know if this is the right place for this post because I don't know what really causes the problem. I think it is the fault of my display manager i3 because with xfce4 it works all fine.
Some applications, like keepassx, Anki, libreoffice and TIPP10 are reacting very slow in the last time. They are just refreshing if something else on my screen is refreshing too. So with my conky and i3 status bar they are just refreshing every 5 seconds. As I start the terminal with
watch -n 0.1 echo test they are refreshing every 0.1s.
They don't use a lot of power or memory, so it has to be something with their user interfaces.
I3 is started by .xinitrc and .xinitrc is started by slim.
Thank you.

Is there someone who could help me to find out the reason why so much applications using i3 are note refreshing automatically?
It's really annoying to use the 'watch -n 0.1 echo test' hack to use my applications. And for some applications it's still to slow...

I noticed some lagging in graphics when I ran compositor in i3. So if you run any, try to kill it.
My problems was caused by compton.

I don't run any compositor in i3. But actually I don't think it's a problem of i3 because if I delete my ~/.xinitrc and start just the Xserver with some terminals via startx the problem still exists.
These processes are running if I use just the X-Server:
(the /etc/X11/ configs should be still the default ones)

I really don't get it, what the problem could be...

I don't know if it is related, my setup was xmonad + intel video driver + compton.
After some time, the system starts to few slow, like changing from workplaces taking some time, if I kill chrome, everything gets back to normal. It is not a memory problem, because at that point, I still have a lot of free RAM.
What I did was to switch to my nvidia gpu with nvidia proprietary driver.
