Re: Xfce 4.12 to 4.14: high Xorg CPU usage

I upgraded Xfce to 4.14 recently (Debian unstable) and noticed slightly

Firefox and Thunderbird behave sluggishly and CPU usage by Xorg is
significantly higher as compared to Xfce 4.12.
Did anyone who is using Xfce 4.14 observe similar effects?
Does top/htop show any process burning CPU?
I mask the colord service because I do not need it, and after upgrading
from Xfce 4.12 to Xfce 4.14, my session acquired an xiccd process that
sat burning 100% of one CPU (unhappy about not being able to contact
colord?). I disabled it from my Xfce session in Settings / Session and
Startup / Application Autostart, logged in and out, and the problem went
away. I do not save my sessions.
Other than needing to use ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini to force all
Xfce GTK 3 elements to use the correct font size (the setting is ignored
for some elements), everything else works for me as well as in 4.12 and
performance is satisfactory.
Kind regards,
