Compiz using high CPU

Question

I'm running Ubuntu Desktop 13.10 with VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)

I've tried installing the:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

I've tried the http://followthegeeks.com/compiz-is-consuming-too-much-cpu-heres-the-solution/ thing.

But it still uses over 50% of the CPU.. Do someone know of a driver or fix for my problem? Can't find any driver for this specific nvidia card..

The solutions above are from other askubuntu questions.

Update:

Additional information:

$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p

Unity 3D supported:       yes

Also did the unity_supported_test -c -p

Compiz supported:         yes

Should some of these be no?

Answer 1

I've solved my problem. I installed gnome-shell environment and dropped Unity.

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

Then logged out and chose GNOME

This removed the compize process from my $top list and replaced it with Xorg and gnome-shell (not sure if Xorg were on the list previous to the change of desktop envirement). These two processes average about 5% of the CPU combined.
