Description Nick Shaforostoff 2016-12-11 00:20:03 UTC 
i have installed and opened plasma waylaid session, but the cursor was moving very slowly and in a descret way. kwin_wayland was eating 100% cpu. connecting with gdb has shown me that this was happening due to endless QSGBatchRender loop started from kwin5_aurorae.so

So solution for me was to switch to breeze window decoration.

but an average user might not know this, so please just ban kwin5_aurorae.so when running under wayland. fixing the original issue might be good as well, but i understand this would take time.

We fix bugs, we don't workaround them by blocking components. If Aurorae has a problem, we need to know about it, then we fix it.

Given the other problem reported by you, I rather think that you have a problem with QtQuick under Wayland.
