Same problem here.
Compiz don't use a lot of cpu idle (2% constantly), but the smallest action take a LOT of cpu.
A simple tab in chrome whith a notification animation takes 50% of the cpu (because of compiz), a simple tab changing, a simple scroll, a simple dash open...

 In Ubuntu 11.10, compiz used 8 to 15% idle (so it's a lot better now),
but a simple action didn't take such cpu consumption. Now my fans are
crazy when I do a simple google search. It's not a medium importance
bug, it's a HUGE problem.

It runs on a Dell Vostro 1320.
