I had some success by opening up CompizConfig Settings Manager (Alt+F2,
ccsm assuming you have it installed.) and enabling "copy to texture"  I
noticed the CPU usage on my machine dropped from a hard 10% to about 2%
even with programs open.  I still find it odd that compiz's CPU usage
spikes when I drag windows or sometimes when I have smooth animations in
windows despite having the fglrx drivers installed, since it's supposed
to be hardware accelerated.  Leads me to believe that something is
causing it to do more work than it should on the software side.
