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.
