Problem description:
Changing the folder location in Nautilus when Compiz is running will result in very high CPU load by the process "xorg" for a second or two.
It is for example nearly impossible to quickly change multiple folders because it is getting stuck in the process (clicking "Up" isn't always recognized if you do it many times too fast)
This is extremely annoying and is driving me nuts. Compiz is clearly causing much more trouble than benefit.

Anyone else having the same problem? Maybe a fix (except the obvious - turning off compiz)?
