Unthrottled EGL clients on radeon cause Mir to slow, sometimes to a halt. This is seen as a frozen screen, unable to move surfaces, or unable to switch VTs (for a while).

For example:
   mir_demo_client_egltriangle -n
   mir_demo_client_eglplasma -n

The -n flag (swapinterval = 0) seems to cause the client to overload the mir server to the point where it cannot render physical frames very often.
