I went the new user route and after fiddling with DISPLAY and xhost I got it
working.  Thanks for all your help.

The CPU usage eventually dies down if I just leave it alone for a few minutes.
I tried to turn a lot of things off (like comets and asteroids) that were
cluttering the screen and not adding to the speed but it seemed to spontaneously
go back to drawing as many things as possible when I tried to zoom to to a
specific angular view.

If I try to adjust the settings so fewer things are displayed it does appear
to lock-up.  I gave it 10 minutes or so to working thinks out on its own but
it seemed it was gone.  When I tried to close the window, I got that pop-up
which asked if I wanted to terminate.  I said yes and that didn't do any good
so I finally had to "sudo killall kstars" which worked.

I don't know if it was hung or if it was just taking a really ... long ...
time ...  to do anything, including closing.
