I have a Dell Mini 10v (atom N270, Intel GMA 950 graphics) running 11.10 and Unity.
I sshed into it from another machine and ran top. If I have gnome-terminal maximized and sitting at the shell prompt, then compiz consumes a steady 2% cpu. If I have firefox maximized (like right now with this page's tab showing), compiz consumes a steady 3% cpu. If I play a video in vlc or smplayer, then compiz consumes 17-18% cpu constantly. I don't understand why compiz needs to consume even 2 or 3% cpu when doing nothing (firefox does the same, btw). And I really don't undserstand why it needs to consume 17 or 18% cpu when I'm playing a video and not doing any window management. -- 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
