Removing indicator-application. Problem here is that nm-applet is
spewing icons across dbus and updating the menu constantly. Compiz has
to redraw the area for every icon change, and that eats CPU. nm-applet
has always had this problem, even under gnome2, for the animated
connecting icon.

** No longer affects: indicator-application (Ubuntu)

  unfortunately running top and just watching the cpu usage
  this is ~10% cpu constantly for just compiz
  but adding nm-applet, indicator-application etc it's more like 15% cpu total
