[Bug 1753057] [NEW] Compiz causing high CPU load in Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic
Public bug reported:
Hi,
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic daily with proposed updates enabled. I
am using gnome-flashback (gnome-panel) with Compiz and am getting high
CPU loads attributed to Compiz. That is, Compiz is permanently hovering
at around 10..50% and peaking at 800%. Considering my H/W specs below,
this appears a bit "unusual". CPU usage is peaking when resizing desktop
windows and scrolling pages in Firefox.
Important hint: When I check GPU usage with intel-gpu-tools, the GPU
seems to be idling, with GPU frequency at minimum and GPU usage staying
at 0% even when doing wild window resizes. On my Ubuntu 16.04 (see
below), this will get me up to 20..30% GPU usage.
H/W:
CPU: Core i7-7700k @ 5GHz
GPU: Using Intel IGP (HD630)
RAM: 16GB DDR4
SSD: Intel Optane
S/W:
$ cat /proc/version

I also tried todays latest GFX drivers from the oibaf ppa, but that did not make any difference.
On another Ubuntu 16.04 install, I'm running compiz 1:0.9.12.3+16.04.20171116-0ubuntu1 without any issues.
Cheers,
