Q: Airplay Mirroring make's my computer so laggy and slow.

I have A mid 2012 Retina Macbook Pro with a 16gb RAM, and a 3rd gen Apple Tv

 

When I use the Airplay mirroring feature the internal fans starts working and my computer become's very laggy and almost unruspunsive some times, also, Chrome browser tabs starts crashing (especially the tabs that are streaming videos)!?; This lagginess doesn't happen when I do mirroring via HDMI..
The wiered thing is that, Extended Desktop feature works fine via airplay, even when i stram online videos in it..!!!

they both work over wifi, so what's wrong with the mirroring feature..???

I tried turning Auto graphic switching on and off, but no diffrence.


I have replicated the problem a few minutes ago, the "Activity Moniter" was showing:

that the CPU was working at %10 only (%90 is Idle)

I also have over 2.5 gb of free ram so the ram isn't the problem


Why is airplay mirroring making the computer so slow, and how can i fix it???

 

Thanks for the help in advance.

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), iOS 5.1.1
