Public bug reported:

When sad idle with nothing more than empathy and a terminal open, compiz
is using between 10-25% CPU and X using 10-15%, as I'm on a laptop this
makes for a somewhat warm lap and short battery life.

If I quit empathy, CPU and heat drop back down to a minimum. If empathy
is visible but offline then the cpu usage also drops to a minimum. If
empathy is Available but the main window (contact list) is not showing
then the CPU usage is also normal so this appears to be purely related
to empathy's contact list. My apologies if this is filed against the
wrong application.
