Ok, now I think I got some results. How does the compizcpu.txt look like now? ** Attachment added: compizcpu.txt https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1078799/+attachment/3440696/+files/compizcpu.txt ** Attachment removed: compizcpu.txt

Thanks. That's excellent. Now it's clear the problem is Unity redrawing constantly. While we are working to make Unity redraws more efficient, that's probably not the main issue here. The main issue is more about what might be causing Unity to redraw constantly. Likely candidates you should

Also, the general slowness of OpenGL suggests there might be a problem with your (experimental) graphics drivers. Please try using the officially supported kernel version and Mesa packages instead. This bug will remain incomplete until you confirm it's still a problem with the supported kernel and

Oh, sorry. It's just the kernel that's non-standard. Please try the supported kernel from 12.04. I also just realized you're running 12.04. You should get a major performance improvement if you upgrade to 12.10. Unfortunately the improvements are so large and numerous that most of them can never

What is the kernel in 12.10? I made a decision that I would so much want to have a stable system and my previous experiences of frequent distribution upgrades have been not- so-good. Many times I was hoping for a better stability all in vain. I definedly can not run standard 12.04 ubuntu because

2012-11-21 Thread Daniel van Vugt
The 12.10 kernel is based on 3.6, however it is confusingly named 3.5.0-18-generic still. It sounds like the root cause of the bug is Firefox and/or Skype forcing redraws. This will incur some compiz CPU usage but will only trigger Unity redraws (the most expensive part) if some part of those

I did not do anything special. The CPU just jumped up. I'll see, if the problem persists and use the script again when the load is high. Sorry I had to reboot... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Sorry, maybe that's not a good test. compizcpu.txt shows compiz almost completely idle and not using any significant amount of CPU. At least much less than 20%. Is there any window or application where the problem is worse? You say it gets better in a terminal... ? If idle CPU is 10% what were
