Public bug reported:

Description:	Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
Release:	11.10

As of the more recent Google Chrome beta and dev channel releases,
Chrome, compiz and Xorg will sporadically use large amounts of CPU up.
The problem only manifests itself in compiz and Xorg when it appears in
Chrome, so one would suspect it's something Chrome is doing, but maybe
compiz could be more resilient.

If it is a Chrome problem, it would be nice if I could squeeze some
debugging out of compiz to prove this. Unfortunately, it appears to be
non-deterministic, so I can't provide any steps to reproduce.

For reference, here's the output of top:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND

Let me know if you need me to provide any more info.
