Interesting that this bug is still marked as unconfirmed. I can clearly see it myself on my laptop running Ubuntu 14.04. It's not that clear to me yet when it directly starts but it might have something to do with hibernation. When it occurs the CPU load of Xorg and compiz is raising up to 60% and stays at this level until the application gets closed. In my case it is mostly Thunderbird.
I have updated to Ubuntu 14.10 now, and will closely watch this problem over the next couple of days to maybe find a pattern to reproduce. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297143 Title: Xorg eats processor cycles while waiting for slow Internet To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/297143/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
