My cpu monitor is almost reading 100%, right after I updated today. It was a very large update because I hadn't updated in about a month. Here is what "$top" gives me:
top - 16:22:55 up 9 min, 2 users, load average: 1.36, 1.32, 0.68 Tasks: 99 total, 3 running, 96 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 34.8%us, 18.6%sy, 0.0%ni, 46.6%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2073268k total, 698532k used, 1374736k free, 14572k buffers Swap: 2281220k total, 0k used, 2281220k free, 384848k cached

A quick google gave me this : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155904 The cpu usage mentioned are not anywhere near 99 though, but still worth a try to add this to $HOME/.kde4/share/config/kdedrc: [DirWatch] PollInterval=60000 Otherwise, a general tip is to try with a fresh new user, to find out whether it is indeed a configuration problem.
