AERO themes causes severe lag in the web browsers.
I am using two web browsers (IE11 & Chrome) and when any AERO theme is enabled those browsers starting to lag after awhile (tabs opening/closes in 2 frames, scrolling lag and any website layout becomes laggy), I can fix it by minimizing and maximizing them but it gets annoying really quickly since it could happen multiple times in a few minutes or so.
If I switch theme to windows classic - nothing of this happens.
Additional thing I noticed is that when lag appears - taskbar thumbnail preview animation also appears to be slow, not smooth like it usually is.
What could be the cause of this?

SOLVED
Solution for NVIDIA owners:
1) Go to NVIDIA Control Panel -> Manage 3D Settings -> Program Settings.
2) Add Desktop Window Manager (DWM.exe at windows/system32 folder) and Explorer.exe (at windows folder) there.
3) In Power Management Mode for both applications change settings from "Adaptive" to "Prefer Maximum Performance".
4) Hit "Apply" and reboot your system.
