@Daniel: I'm also looking into which package solved my problem. But maybe I was suffering from two bugs.
Adding the compiz PPA smoothened my whole desktop experience a lot (but introduced the flickers as I was talking about), the unity PPA helped lowered my compiz usage and GPU temp. I'm not a lot at my laptop this week, so that's causing the delay. Didn't do much so, the changes were more subtle. I also reverted my Catalyst driver back to 11.8 for a better comparison. I will get back when I'm entirely sure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/803943 Title: compiz consuming a lot of cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/803943/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
