I've been trying to pinpoint the cause of it since aeons. It's absolutely dreadful in awesome wm and at some point I laid the blame on (cairo-)XCB, or some Xft bug, but it cropped back too, only less often, under gnome/xfce.−cydonian_monk14yThat explains it perfectly. My older Gentoo build has an even older version of libcairo installed. Thanks.
