Well, now that you've found the issue, I'm curious if you'll note any
other issues generally involving Compiz. I used Compiz for about 4
months before I finally realized that on my setup, it was slowly eating
memory. I value and heavily use my memory so I have opted not to use it
anymore, but I'm wondering if it's just me having this issue.

Also, as a semi-replacement for Conky*, and assuming you use Gnome, you
might appreciate the system monitor applet. For example, here's my
Gnome Panel:
