CPU usage with screen off

[Pat McGowan]

With the latest rc-proposed 341 unity8 is at a steady 2.9% with the screen off and plugged into laptop over usb.

E4.5 running stable ota 11 and MX4 running 327 (5/14) do not exhibit this.

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Bisecting to see where this showed up.

[Albert Astals Cid (aacid)]

Introduced in MX4 image 341
http://people.canonical.com/~lzemczak/landing-team/ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/meizu.en/arale/341.commitlog

So seems an unity8/qtmir regression really.

[Daniel d'Andrada (dandrader)]

Have mako (Nexus 4) with display off and a logged ssh terminal with "sudo powerd-cli active".

With pristine image, top says unity8 CPU usage fluctuates between 6% and 10%.

If I comment out the AnimatedSprite in Cursor.qml, CPU usage fluctuates between 0% and 1%.

So this indicates that the regression was introduced by http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity8/trunk/revision/2439 as aacid pointed out (AnimatedSprite usage was introduced by that commit).
