Also for me, except it's 100% cpu. This makes Chrome unusable for me.

Title:
  Compiz eats around 15% CPU when idle

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Filing this as a new bug as per recommendation in this comment:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/803943/comments/211

  I'm using Lenovo X1 Carbon with Ubuntu 13.04 installed, external 20" monitor connected via Mini DisplayPort (both displays are on and in use).
  htop shows that compiz is using around 15% of CPU when the PC is idle.
  Open applications:
  * Chrome with many tabs
  * Thunderbird
  * Skype
  * Nautilus
  * Terminal with htop running

  In CCSM->OpenGL, I have 'Sync to VBlank' unticked and 'Texture Filter' set to 'Fast' as advised by many other users.
  I am not using an unstable version of compiz.

  Will be happy to provide any additional details.
