Comment 7 for bug 77164

I don't really think this is an Amarok bug then. Compiz just may not be handling rapid window redraws as well as it could be. I'm closing the amarok task then but leaving open the compiz one. Reopen the amarok task if there's some way things can be helped on Amarok's side.

iirc, a right-click on the window or somewhere in the options allows the redraw rate of the analyzer to be changed. This may help alleviate the processor activity until the bug is otherwise fixed.
