That sounds a lot like the problem being in KMail or in something that KMail 
does.
It not exiting on quit is a hint that there is some active action inside it 
that inhibit application exit, e.g. some long running job.
Also, the fact that killing it stops the observed CPU usage again suggests 
that it is the origin of the load.

I am not sure how best to check what it is doing right there.
One thing you could try is to run akonadiconsole before launching KMail and 
then check the Job Tracker tab when the high usage occurs and look which type 
of job is reported as running for KMail.

Cheers,
Kevin
