I can confirm this using a Nvidia 6600 GT with Nvidia 185.18.14 drivers.

*) Starting compiz via fusion-icon in the startup applications causes
100% CPU load. Killing either compiz.real or metacity reduces CPU load
back to normal.

*) Starting compiz manually after session start with 'compiz --replace'
causes 100% CPU load. Killing either compiz.real or metacity reduces CPU
load back to normal.

*) After restarting metacity with 'metacity --replace' I can start
compiz with 'compiz --replace' without high CPU load.

In my case the high CPU load is caused by gconfd-2, which continuously
writes to ~/.gconfd/saved_state

Maybe a duplicate or connected:
