Thanks Florian. It sounds like your graphics card and driver is so fast that maybe compiz is rendering multiple frames per physical frame. That's unusual but I can imagine it might be possible with fast graphics and the new compiz rendering method in 12.04.

Can anyone else confirm the CPU usage drops significantly when vsync is disabled?

To disable vsync...
1. Run "ccsm" (from the "compizconfig-settings-manager" package)
2. Go to the OpenGL section and untick "Sync To VBlank".
