When I have chrome windows open, and switch desktops, chrome and compiz cpu shoot up to between 25% and 105% of my cpu (shown in top).
It appears this issue has been documented since 14.04. https:/
I have been researching for several weeks. A short term solution was disabling hardware acceleration in chrome. However, the issue has arisen once again.
I have been all over google and tried multivarious solutions, none have worked. There is no solution, this is a bug. Let me know what I can do to help you guys solve it.
