2017-12-27 10:28:05 Dan Dascalescu description My CPU was being roasted on all 4 cores, htop showed 25% utilization for both xorg and compiz, but `sudo gnome-system-monitor` showed much smaller numbers for xorg (~7%) and compiz (5%). Killing compiz didn't help - after a dip in the CPU usage and a flash of the screen, it's back to 100% of the CPU core.
