[Bug 968533] Re: Alt-tab to Firefox sends Firefox to 100% CPU; unity-panel-service to 80% CPU and hud-service to 20-80% CPU
@radiobuzzer
"Lately the unity menu integration does not come as an addon. So, the
previous solution (to disable the globalmenu addon if ones has high CPU
load) does not work."
The addon, "Unity Desktop Integration", is still present in Ubuntu
13.04, and probably will continue to be in some form for the foreseeable
future. Without a Firefox addon Unity has no means of using a simple
API to access the bookmarks, so it is highly unlikely the addon will be
replaced with some non-addon based interface. Perhaps you manually
removed the addon via the package manager?

Title:
Alt-tab to Firefox sends Firefox to 100% CPU; unity-panel-service to
80% CPU and hud-service to 20-80% CPU
Status in Unity:
Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've been seeing UI hangs after switching tabs in Firefox, and
switching from other applications to Firefox.
It can take 3-8 seconds to change *tab*. During this time the CPU is
maxed out; typical output from 'top' during this period shows 'hud-
service' and 'unity-panel-service' combined using about the same CPU
as Firefox itself:
100 10.4 26:07.73 firefox
53 0.6 6:14.86 hud-service
38 1.5 6:42.14 unity-panel-service
I suspect that the change is causing a (an inefficient) re-index
related to updated menu structures. (Eg. something like the history
menu, although I can't see what it is as don't currently have a menu
bar).
