Izidor, It appears the combination of a large desktop (multiple monitors), the nvidia driver, and Unity is the problem. Obviously we should only expect Nvidia or Unity to change.
A relevant fix has been released in Nux 3.10 recently. Please make sure your libnux packages are at 3.10 or later. For Nvidia, they claim to have made major leaps in Unity performance with their v310 beta driver, so please try that too: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-310.14-driver.html http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-310.14-driver.html Finally, please provide details of your installation by running this command: apport-collect 1071284 And in future, please report bugs using this command: ubuntu-bug unity ** Also affects: nux Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: nux Status: New => Incomplete ** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071284 Title: Compiz burns at least 8% CPU constantly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nux/+bug/1071284/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
