(Get the code!)
Yeah I noticed too; gnome-shell is surprisingly inefficient.
The good news is that v3.25 aims to make things more efficient, so that's something to look forward to.
Just a note: The exact CPU usage will depend on your CPU model and what apps you're running (not just the Gnome version). I experience 20%+ CPU usage by gnome-shell on a high-end Xeon desktop, just while it's redrawing the screen, which is surprisingly bad. But it will take some time before the upstream optimizations trickle into Ubuntu, and before I have time to look at more detailed optimizations in future.
