[Bug 545015] Re: X takes ~70% of CPU when Compiz is activated

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
  
  I've a Nvidia card. When Compiz is activated, X jumps to 70% of my CPU
  and then stay between 50 and 90%.
  
  I notices that going to tty1 "fixes" the CPU usage, but X goes back to
  70% when I use almost any effect of Compiz (like moving to the next
  desktop).
  
  Karmic was already quite bad working for me since I was impacted by bug 419054 :
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/419054
  (For me, that particular bug was "fixed" by changing the organisation of my plasmoïds)
  
  My version of Kubuntu :
  
  lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
  Release:        10.04
  
  
  apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
