My discovery of the day: PyCharm (java) being open and not minimized triggers compiz to use 15 - 25% of a CPU on my system. Without it I idle at 1 - 2% use by compiz.
I am using the nvidia binary drivers and have disabled refresh rate detection (detects 50Hz, which is wrong, even with DynamicTwinView disabled) and manually set the refresh rate to 60Hz. This helped things run more smoothly. I also have turned on KDE compatibility. I have the Java Window Fix and Java Taskbar Fix ticked (default). Disabling these fixes doesn't help. I am using Sun Java 1.6.0_26, 64 bit. Lenovo T410 with an NVS 3100M (256MB RAM), running Nvidia driver version 290.10. -- 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/803943 Title: compiz consuming a lot of cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/803943/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
