So in my case it triggers when i connect some usb device (mouse, usb-flash-memory, phone). Sometimes it calms down after unmount and unplug of usb-memory, and does not come back until i logout of lubuntu desktop (and login and plugin again). Another way of triggering 100% is in my case having usb-memory plugged in and starting firefox. This firefox has estonian id-card plugin installed. I guess that plugin starts looking for id-card or device.

I can't quite connect it to any specific event on the system, it just seems to happen sporadically -- fan turns on, I run top, and there it is again. Never had this issue on same hardware incl. smartcard with trusty.
