Anyone else getting high resource usage with KDE 4.2?

I get a minimum of 9% CPU usage running KDE 4.2, whereas KDE 3 uses less than 1%!

I’m sure it didn’t do that before I “upgraded” to the latest Nvidia driver and newer kernel though :(.

Using kde4.2 (102) and latest kernel (2.6.27.19-3.2-default x86_64) and nvidia (180.29) drivers I’m getting ca. 1% from kwin

i would guess it’s a monitor plasmoid, try removing them and seeing if
cpu goes down or try disabling kwin desktop effects
