Comment 49 for bug 1293384

I am amazed, stunned and shocked....

I have been an Ubuntu fan and user for a long time now, as an I.T. contractor I use it for my day to day work. I also use the gnome desktop always. But since 14.04 my cpu's are running flat out...... and I am not really pushing my system. A quick look at top shows a process named compiz is consuming over 300%.

Seems its related to this 'unity' stuff that has always been buggy and will often lock up your desktop UI.

C'mon guys, I even donated a while ago, yet as we go forward with releases we go backwards in reliability and performance.

Perhaps you need a new release pipeline?

Allowing such a bug to be present in a release is well, disgraceful and will ruin any good name you have built up.

Unity is buggy, unreliable and deserves no place on a Linux system, perhaps you can port it to windows where they are used to such crap.

Goodbye gnome, hello XFCE.
