Comment 56 for bug 183685

mine was like this. that i did dist-upgrade to 8.04 alfa release. and after that compiz.real was taking ~95% of processor resources... and pretty frequently it just crashed (usually when i started x, then in the begging of the session [within 1st minute]). anyway. it didn't always crash, but anyway. i had to kill it, because i was unable to do anything else... i tried 'replace --metacity' but it didn't work. yes. when i switched to console then compiz was normal (taking maybe 1% orsmth).
