As per bug 779039#c14, this checkin https://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/commit/?id=383ba566bd7c2a76d0856015a66e47caedef06b6 makes gnome-shell use ~80% cpu of one core out of 4 (I am running a skylake corei5) constantly when running something like glxgears.

Reverting the patch brings down cpu usage to around 3% when running glxgears.
In addition, this makes my cpu temperature increase by ~5 degrees.

GPU temperature and usage don't seem to be affect. Only CPU usage is.
I am using a NVIDIA kepler card.
