Just to point out, compiz using a constant 5% of CPU time can only be considered "good" in comparison to compiz using a constant 10-20% CPU time. If there's nothing happening on the screen then compiz should be essentially completely idle and using much less than 1% of the CPU time, if any. A constant drain of 5% busy is a disaster for power savings, battery life, heat, etc., at the very least.
It's definitely possible for compiz to use essentially no resources when idle. That's how it used to work... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/803943 Title: compiz consuming a lot of cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/803943/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
