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 apps is overlapping the panel or shell (including a broken/buggy indicator). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078799 Title: Compiz started suddently consume CPU. 70% with i7 processor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1078799/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
