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.
