Good idea. You could also try to pull the card(s) out and see if you
still get 50% CPU usage.

Yes, I believe that would be most convenient if you've got Windows

I'm not sure. IIRC, the File Manager has some sort of repair option in
one of the menus, that probably invokes dosfsck behind the scenes.
(There's also the option of going hardcore and running dosfck as root
from a terminal, but its user interface is a bit silly. Not
recommended.)
