Now it is clear what is happening.
Xlib routinely calls read one more time during every X-protocol call one 
extra time, kinda just in case. And such calls always fail with EAGAIN, 
unless disconnect or socket error happens to happen at this time. This 
essentially about doubles the number of system calls that any X app makes.
