No, i have only one monitor here, and it happens here too.
See Bug #890785, which was marked as a duplicate of this bug, but it is not.

The Bug here is talking about dual-head monitors, that i don't have/use.
I have an NVidia Geforce GTX 550 Ti videocard and clone mode etc. is turned of in nvidia-settings.

Bug #890785 has nothing to do with this bug or dual-head mode or two monitors, it also happens on one monitor systems.

> 3) It only and always occurs when the Unity plugin to Compiz is active.

No, i deinstalled and removed Unity completely from my system, and the CPU usage is still high.

This bug and Bug #890785 are in my opinion different bugs, they are no duplicates.
The bugs should discussed independently.
And #890785 shouldn't be marked as a duplicate of this bug here.
