So I found a temporary workaround that seems to work, whenever it hangs I can send HUP to compiz and that seems to fix the problem.
eg: kill -HUP $(pidof compiz) However this appears to expose yet another bug that minimized windows at the time of compiz restart essentially disappear permanently, they do not show up in the sidebar anymore, eg if you have 5 firefox windows any that are minimized disappear from the list until firefox is restarted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313436 Title: Unity/Compiz very slow after resume from suspend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1313436/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
