Comment 37 for bug 555595

I installed 10.4 at launch and had great performance. However in late August or early September the symptoms described here appeared. I first noticed an increase in fan speed, but his week my PC has turned almost useless. The system monitor typically shows Compiz using 40 - 60% of CPU.

I am running Linux 2.6.32-24-generic in a default configuration with automatic updates. The motherboard has GMA X4500 graphics with the G41 Express chipset.

I have not found any other bug or discussion related to this latest problem.
