As the original bug reporter, I can confirm this bug is now solved *to me* with Ubuntu 12.04 (unity version 5.14.0-0ubuntu1). When idle, compiz consumes < 1% of CPU time and when moving windows and doing other things related to windows management, it consumes about 5%.
Daniel said in comment #197 that "performance bugs are almost always too vague and subjective" and I agree. My performance problem (which this bug report represents) is now solved. I'll mark this bug as fixed, and ask that other people that face similar performance problems that open another bugs reports with their specific hardware info and steps to reproduce.
