Update:
without greedy migration, it looks like firefox and other applications make
competition on migration. If I switch desktop with firefox to another desktop
with application (psi IM client), one can see empty windows that is filled
after while. If I switch to the desktop with terminals only, it does not
happen. It also does not happen if I switch to firefox but do not touch
firefox at all (no scrolling, no clicking on url and so on). But if the
firefox needs some resources and drawing, on desktop switches I can see empty
windows first.

The sysprof tool point that most CPU greedy function is exaoffscreenalloc but
it also looks like sysprof is currently broken and shows spurrious call tree..
