OK I think the problem is much worse than I originally thought. Even moving around the mouse causes massive CPU usage.
For example, launch Nautilus, and move the mouse around inside it for 15-20 seconds or so. CPU usage jumps to 25% each for Xorg and nautilus, and 15% for compiz. Similar results occur for any other program like say Firefox. I'm really getting horrible all-around lagginess out of Ubuntu 14.04 because of this out-of-control CPU usage. I don't understand why there aren't widespread complaints about this? Is it only affecting a small portion of users? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293384 Title: Compiz CPU usage dramatically increased in Ubuntu 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1293384/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
