Thanks, that's all the info I really needed.

I agree this and related compiz bugs are enough to make people want to switch.

I am presently working on improving the fix for bug 880707, and my new design should reduce compiz CPU usage too. So keep an eye on that one. It might help.

In the mean time, to minimize CPU, you should make sure these (default) settings are set in CCSM:
OpenGL: "Sync to VBlank" = ON
Composite: "Refresh Rate" = The same as your monitor refresh rate. No higher.
Workarounds: "Force full screen redraws..." = OFF
