I just discovered that for me Emphaty is causing at least part of the problem.

After startup I see Compiz at around 1-2% cpu while doing nothing.
And then I start Emphaty and now Compiz consumes around 15-16% of cpu.
I then disabled the "People nearby" which did not seem to ever "connect" and voilà,
Compiz is back at consuming only 1-2%cpu!!!

This change also had the benefit that the ever spinning "trying to connect" indicator
on the right of the availability dropdown only shows when I am actually connecting.

However, it remains to see if this also stops the slowly increasing of cpu cycles for
Compiz that I have seen previously. After a couple of days I have seen Compiz
consuming up to 35% of cpu, but maybe this has been a consequence of the Emphaty problem.
I will report again regarding how Compiz behaves after a couple of days.
