When desktop effects are enabled, I'm having this problem too (KDM takes 50% to 100% on a dual core system, even if the desktop is "idle", meaning that no window is moved, resized,...). I'm using intrepid, GPU is nvidia. kdm: Installed: 4:4.1.0-0ubuntu8 If I disable desktop effects, then KDM CPU usage seems as it is used to be. At KDE 3.5 times compiz wasn't using as much CPU as KDM uses now.
