Hi Chris

I'm attaching some screen shots. I opened a new instance of Calc with an empty sheet and started top. First image is the normal situation, Xorg is using 5% of CPU. Next 2 images show a selected row and a selected column and Xorg using ~30% of CPU. Interestingly, if I make the Calc window wider the effect is worse (50% CPU), so it seems to be related to the number of ants.

As far as I know I have the default Human theme running with normal Compiz effects on a pretty standard intel GM965 graphics card.
