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 compiz has dropped to 4% CPU and system is responsive This is the first performance issue I've yet encountered with my setup. The progress bars really aren't that dazzling to warrant the performance hit I'm seeing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884387 Title: Compiz is absurdly heavy on CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/884387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
