This is a problem for me too. After many attempts at doing other things I was able to reduce (not eliminate) load averages from around 50% to 20% by removing VBlank in the CCSM and disabling Vertical refresh in AMD cccle. After I did "unity --reset" I noticed I kept getting error messages but they scrolled away quickly - however I could capture the parts where the error was shown and its below:
(compiz:2409): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_client_add_dir: assertion `gconf_valid_key (dirname, NULL)' failed Initializing unityshell options...done compiz (core) - Warn: unhandled ConfigureNotify on 0xc00090! compiz (core) - Warn: this should never happen. you should probably file a bug about this. compiz (core) - Warn: unhandled ConfigureNotify on 0xc000a1! compiz (core) - Warn: this should never happen. you should probably file a bug about this. If you need more info let me know what I should do.
