I am suprised by plasma's hunger. Running almost nothing (useful that is) still eats up lots of CPU time.

I've tried removing all plasmoids, all panels, no background, no windows, no effects. Switching to another virtual console still reports lots of plasma and python activity. I suspect that even with no productive work going on, the power is still there...

This CPU bloat is almost like Windows!
