I wouldn't want to speculate before using htop and iotop, but for many of the years I used Kmail (and therefore the KDE libraries), I regularly had dbus-daemon instances go rogue and eat up 98% of the processor. It got so bad that I made a daemon to go out every 5 seconds, find any dbus-daemon instances that had been > 95% for two cycles in a row, and kill them.
So, if the OP finds out that dbus-daemon *is* the problem (which is unlikely just because of the huge number of possible causes), I can give him the daemon.
