Same problem here. Compiz don't use a lot of cpu idle (2% constantly), but the smallest action take a LOT of cpu. A simple tab in chrome whith a notification animation takes 50% of the cpu (because of compiz), a simple tab changing, a simple scroll, a simple dash open...
In Ubuntu 11.10, compiz used 8 to 15% idle (so it's a lot better now), but a simple action didn't take such cpu consumption. Now my fans are crazy when I do a simple google search. It's not a medium importance bug, it's a HUGE problem. It runs on a Dell Vostro 1320. glxinfo | grep OpenGL OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 8400M GS/PCIe/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 295.40 OpenGL shading language version string: 3.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler OpenGL extensions: -- 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
