[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
@pieleric: I confirm it has gotten worse in 13.10.
The BookmarkMenuHider didn't do anything for me, probably because most of my bookmarks are sorted and thus still in the menu. after installing the addon.
The ui.use_unity_menubar trick did it, but I agree it is a pity it also disables HUD completely. Ideally the bookmarks should not be exposed to HUD, as they are already accessible through Firefox address bar (Ctrl+L).
@holocronweaver: this looks essentially like the same bug, why create a
new one that is going to be closed as duplicate?

Title:
Alt-tab to Firefox sends Firefox to 100% CPU; unity-panel-service to
80% CPU and hud-service to 20-80% CPU

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).
