Nothing's really using up a lot of CPU. I only have two guesses.
1) somethings's up with my 3D graphics drivers - although I haven't done any package updates relating to the kernel or nvidia drivers
I know glxgears isn't the best, most accurate way to test, but I get

Disabling desktop effects did not fix the situation. Not sure if that rules out graphics driver issues.
Not sure if this proves that things are OK with the graphics or not, but Gnome 3 seems to run just fine. No slowness. Xfce seems to work just fine even with compositing turned on. The only issue appears to be with KDE
2) I did update some small amount of packages fftw or something and a couple others - seemed like no big deal.
here's what I updated today:

I feel like KDE is getting stuck on something perhaps - waiting for something to happen that's not happening. Or maybe something SELinux related? If it helps with the debugging - I have the last.fm plasmoid. It has a counter on it until the next update and I'll notice that it'll get stuck on a number for a while and then start counting again before gettting stuck again
