This sounds like essentially the same as bug 813409 but we won't be sure until (unless?) a fix is developed. In that bug I noted:
"Found the cause to be that my indicator-datetime is set to display seconds, not just hours and minutes. This seems to cause unity/compiz to send the SyncOne and SyncGeometries dbus messages to unity-panel-service every second. And profiling unity-panel-service with callgrind shows it is spending all it's time in g_variant_ fuctions, invoked by the dbus activity. So this needs to be optimized. It's quite wrong that something happening only once per second should use so much CPU." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784055 Title: compiz CPU usage increases 0->4% when running indicator-multiload To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-multiload/+bug/784055/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
