I can't see what is using the CPU, since everything visual freezes, but once ksysguard "catches up" after I cancel, I have a big hump. Same goes when just using alt-tab to switch windows. I can see all kinds of activity, even though I'm only seeing window outlines on the screen. No desktop effects active; four cores; 6GB; no swap. But I can confirm the workaround: Enabling and then disabling desktop effects fixes the problem. Do we need a new thread to call this to the right people's attention? Or should a bug be filed somewhere?
