Just to point out, compiz using a constant 5% of CPU time can only be
considered "good" in comparison to compiz using a constant 10-20% CPU
time.  If there's nothing happening on the screen then compiz should be
essentially completely idle and using much less than 1% of the CPU time,
if any.  A constant drain of 5% busy is a disaster for power savings,
battery life, heat, etc., at the very least.

It's definitely possible for compiz to use essentially no resources when
idle.  That's how it used to work...
