Bug Description
Running 16.04, after installing updates, and leaving the confirmation dialog box open for some while in the background, I notice the laptop is hot, with fans running.
"top" shows the compiz process consuming high CPU.
Closing the update-manager window causes the CPU load to drop immediately.
Strace suggests the update manager process is chatting with the X server - possibly repainting continuously?
