I confirm that disabling vsync reduce cpu usage of compiz (35 -> 8 while scrolling for compiz). But Xorg use always a lot of cpu, so the global cpu reduction is not that spectacular.
The only disadvantage I see is when I move a windows (not as smooth). Other animation like "scale" mode are unchanged. -- 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
