From shell running: while true; do date +%s.%N; sleep 1; done
In all cases, the output content is as expected: regular increment of
the time displayed, however the time at which the lines are displayed is
not regular.
I have an Lenovo X1 Gen 5, with a Thunderbolt dock and DisplayPort
monitor connected, using xrandr to extend screen size.
In virtual console (ctrl-alt-F3): the output timing is always regular.
xterm, gnome-terminal, rxvt: the output timing is irregular, no matter
which monitor (internal/external) it is running on.
Disconnecting Thunderbolt dock/monitor, causing the X output to become
regular.
Connecting Thunderbolt dock/monitor, the X output becomes lagged again.
I'm not quite sure what's causing it.

$ uname -a

GNU/Linux
Anyone have an idea of why this happens?
