[Bug 1361911] Re: I have recently rebooted after the latest software update and suddenly my laptop is running slower than slow. top shows compliz is taking between 20% to more often 130% or more of the CPU (dual CPU). My system was running really well now it is very very slow.

 

I can reproduce this problem by logging out and logging in with the external screen attached.  Compiz chokes the computer running at around 150% CPU usage alone.  
If I unplug the external screen the laptop seems to get largely back to normal.
Then plugging the screen back in - the situation is as I previously noted, compiz usage is high but not so bad.
Rebooting or logging out then back in triggers the very high compiz usage.
