I’m experiencing high CPU load when switching to Firefox window (no difference by whether Alt-Tab or mouse) only when I use HUD, and the only solution is to end process of hud-service through System Monitor. No problem afterward, or when I haven’t used HUD before.

It can take 3-8 seconds to change *tab*. During this time the CPU is maxed out; typical output from 'top' during this period shows 'hud- service' and 'unity-panel-service' combined using about the same CPU as Firefox itself: 100 10.4 26:07.73 firefox 53 0.6 6:14.86 hud-service 38 1.5 6:42.14 unity-panel-service I suspect that the change is causing a (an inefficient) re-index related to updated menu structures. (Eg. something like the history menu, although I can't see what it is as don't currently have a menu bar).
