This gets better in other environments - Gnome3 or KDE for example. I would be interested to see if you experience the same CPU usage if you try other env.

Maybe this is a stupid question: if the problem is Unity reporting a full refresh, why doesn't the same issue appear when the same external monitor is connected directly to the mini displayport using a miniDP2DVI adapter?
