After upgrading lib32-libx11 to 1.8.3-1 from 1.8.2-2, there's a whole lot of messages in /var/log/messages from the steam client which makes it really slow.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
upgrade library lib32-libx11 to 1.8.3-1
start steam
monitor /var/log/messages (or /var/log/messages.log) for new messages, possibly via tail -f. There will be a flood of messages like:
