[Bug 1293384] Re: Compiz CPU usage dramatically increased in Ubuntu 14.04

 

Similar problem here.  Seeing 50% CPU when running Chromium.  Using
fglrx, because FOSS drivers gave horrid responsiveness and bad video
corruption at login screen and while watching video.  However, I am not
using 14.04 LTS in a virtual machine.  I am using it in a Wubi install,
however, until I can buy a new computer next year.
