If you'd like to try 10.9.3, Apple has just released it to non-devlopers:

For me at least, I can use more than 1 USB display reliably, without rendering issues. I have to "re-arrange" all my displays on basically every USB unplug/replug and certainly on reboots, but for me at least, things have improved to be pretty usable if you can live with constantly re-arranging displays.

There is still CPU usage when the DisplayLink device is disconnected.
DisplayLinkManager uses around 3% CPU even when disconnected.

This keeps the CPU on higher speed and uses battery.

Can anybody else confirm this problem? (BTW.: Same problem on older driver versions.)

Hi,

I can confirm that we're seeing too much CPU usage, especially when the USB device is disconnected.
We'll improve this in the next release

Cheers,
