Title:
  hud-service consumes all the cycles on my CPU

Bug description:
  hud-service is consuming every available cycle on my CPU.  I have a
  dual core Atom 450 based netbook - typing phrases such as "image
  filter" pegs the first CPU to 100% running hud-service and the second
  CPU pegged at ~30-50% running compiz.  When I stop typing this CPU
  consumption continues on for several seconds afterwards.

  This is an insane amount of CPU cycles being consumed.

  Attached is a spreadsheet showing CPU consumption. The data is based
  on a 2 CPU system and the measurements show total CPU consumption for
  each process.  Since two CPUs = 100% cycles, a 50% measurement is
  basically 1 CPU totally saturated.  As one can see, hud-service and
  compiz are together using ~70-75% of all CPU cycles for several
  seconds.
