[Bug 885498] [NEW] compiz occasionally hangs with 100% cpu

 

Public bug reported:

compiz occasionally hangs and starts getting to 100% cpu. 
Screen rendering dies. I noticed that it's usually being triggered when I switch
between workspaces (using the kbd shortcuts Ctrl-Alt-Arrows if it matters)

strace shows endless sched_yield(() 
I have to kill X and restart it killing all my active work windows.

This is not a duplicate of #773564 as far as I understand because
it doesn't seem related to the inotify plugin (FileWatcher plugin is disabled in ccsm)

Setup:
Ubuntu 11.04
compiz: 1:0.9.4+bzr20110606-0ubuntu1~natty2

Using Unity
Nvidia Ge Force 210
Using Nvidia proprietary driver

TwinView display
