Thank you for your bug report, what video card/driver is on use on this machine? Does it just spike or creating events while activated? Can't you just inhibit the screensaver for your tests?

I've been having trouble getting the data to stabilize and showed it to Colin King recently, who seems to have found the culprit. If you look at https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/eventstat-raring-desktop-amd64 -install-idle-vm/95/artifact/eventstat.csv you will see that on line 8, the events/second for compiz jumps dramatically. Move over a few columns and you'll see that this sudden rise corresponds to gnome- screensaver activating. This is on a freshly installed raring vm, so it should be the default screensaver.
