The issue with Unity hooking all screen updates and making them much slower and more CPU-intensive was bug 988079. So please test that fix in Ubuntu 12.10 (or a fully updated 12.04). I recommend 12.10 because you will get better performance and more of the latest fixes, than 12.04 has. ** Changed

I noticed this when using gparted. top reported Compiz using ~55% of a CPU. When I dragged the progress bar off-screen, compiz was reduced to 16%. I dragged the progress bar on and off the screen a few times and confirmed that the jump in compiz was directly related. -- You received this bug noti

To be clear, I can reproduce this with any progress bar. The easiest is a file copy: 1) Start file copy of a reasonable (10's to 100's) of files which will last a few minutes 2) Peek at `top`, notice compiz is using 15%+ CPU and system has become extremely laggy 3) Minimize progress bar, notice
