Also happening here using latest nvidia drivers (331.113), CPU usage of
compiz climbs when using the TV out on my GeForce GTS 250. I've been
using this setup for years and this high CPU usage making the whole
Unity almost unusable is very recent, a few weeks at most.

Running sudo perf top -p $COMPIZ_PID:

Single monitor: (compiz cpu% in top is around 2-3%)

  21.40%  [kernel]                            [k] _nv013274rm

Second monitor turned on in display settings (compiz jumps to 18%):
