You may want to consider a related problem with the combination Compiz
and Clamav.  I did an upgrade last week from 10.04 to 12.04.  After
doing this, I noticed a significant slowdown in the performance,
basically it became unusable for work.

Looking at system monitoring, Compiz was somewhere in the range of using
50% of one processor, but more significant Clamav (installed from the
repositories in 10.04) was using close to or over 100% of one processor.
I could fry an egg on the laptop.  I killed ClamAv and then removed it
using package manager. This improved things instantly, though I must say
I still perceive it to be slower than 10.04.

Since it does not get hot anymore, but overall it is not great.

Hardware:  HP Compaq 6720S, HDD320GB, 1 GB ram.
