[Bug 863192] Re: Compiz using large amounts of CPU when running Chrome

 

Same problem with Ubuntu 14.04.1, Chrome Version 39.0.2171.65 (64-bit)

I think this issue is related to the driver of video card. I am using
Nvidia GForce 8400 GS.

Title:
  Compiz using large amounts of CPU when running Chrome

Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu oneiric (development branch)
  Release:	11.10

  As of the more recent Google Chrome beta and dev channel releases,
  Chrome, compiz and Xorg will sporadically use large amounts of CPU up.
  The problem only manifests itself in compiz and Xorg when it appears
  in Chrome, so one would suspect it's something Chrome is doing, but
  maybe compiz could be more resilient.

  If it is a Chrome problem, it would be nice if I could squeeze some
  debugging out of compiz to prove this. Unfortunately, it appears to be
  non-deterministic, so I can't provide any steps to reproduce.

  For reference, here's the output of top:

  Let me know if you need me to provide any more info.
