Mark, are you using Lucid or Maverick? We know this is a problem on Lucid Intel, and it seemed to be an issue on Maverick Intel until the latest round of updates. Can someone with Maverick please test on a fully updated Maverick machine to see if the issue is still happening. Our testing has been on Intel i945 netbooks (the lowest graphics we support), i965, as well as testing nvidia systems (which don't seem to suffer from it).

In addition to this, we've got the latest Clutter and Mutter updates arriving this week so we would appreciate continued testing of this issue.

Finally, with the latest updates on i965, I see the following and would like some confirmation:

1. A maximised terminal running top is giving me a Xorg and Mutter CPU usage of 1-3% (normally 1-2.
2. From position 1. , running my mouse over, really quickly, on the panel horizontally, is giving me a CPU usage spike to ~10%
3. From position 1. , running my mouse over, again very quickly, the launcher vertically is giving me a CPU usage spike to 40% (I think this is what you were mentioning Mark).

I will investigate the painting spikes of 2 & 3 further tomorrow morning with Gord.
