+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #646937 +++

When running compiz, and launching something expensive, like:
http://cjcliffe.github.com/CubicVR.js/cubicvr/tests/gpu_fluid/wavepool_blockers.html

The cpu usage remains high even if on a completely different desktop.
maniac103 of compiz says:
"< maniac103> nemo: when firefox gets the ConfigureNotify, it would need to check if its window rect intersects with the screen rect (the latter being 0, 0 - screen width, screen height)"

My request is that general paints be throttled way back if a window is minimised or not on current desktop.
Severity: normal → S3
