It gets immediately fixed if I kill nm- applet, although when I relaunch nm-applet CPU usage skyrockets again. Killing Transmission doesn't affect anything. I'm not sure there is a relation between Transmission and this issue, I just mention it because I only leave my computer on overnight when I download torrents.
