High X CPU issues are almost always due to some client application
driving the load up.  As long as it doesn't crash X and things keep
working, there isn't anything wrong with X - it's the client app that
needs fixed.  ;-)

In this case, since you found cpu usage went down when compiz was turned
off, that indicates something compiz does is causing the excess load.
Refiling.

** Summary changed:

- xorg high cpu usage while using top command 
+ xorg high cpu usage with compiz while using top command; goes away when compiz is killed

** Package changed: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) => compiz (Ubuntu)
