Why is plasma hammering my CPU?

I see Mornesso/TopperH has suggested that as a culprit, too, especially 
for Intel graphics hardware.

Heh, there were a couple comments on the bug that the emails for 
apparently got caught in the spam-traps somewhere and I didn't see.  But 
there's contact and some progress, now.  As so often seems the case, 
nothing seemed to happen until I let off some steam saying nothing was 
happening.  Anyway, I gotta get a bit of sleep so my results have a better 
chance of actually making some sense, and then do a bit more testing.  
It's looking like it could be more AGP specific than radeon/dri/graphics, 
related.
