I would like to verify the above situation.

I have only one plasmoid on desktop, it's the folder view. 
When i move the cursor to the boundaried of the plasmoid i have around 30% cpu usage from X and 20% from plasma. This happens as well wehn i move the mouse cursor over the "files" showed bye the plasmoid.

I also wanted to add that when i move fast a window around the screen, i have 100% cpu usage (X server uses 44%, kwin around 30% and plasma the rest 20%). This makes the whole feeling of kde4 sluggish and not smooth. If i kill plasma and do the same fast move of the window, the motion is smooth, very fast and cpu usage is 50% for kwin and 30% for X. But i don't care, because everything is smooth. 

But when plasma is running things are not smooth.

In case of machine specs are needed: Athlon XP 1800+, Nvidia Ti 4600 (legacy drivers).
