Well, I just upgraded to plasma 6.5.3. I've been logged in for several minutes and so far, the CPU is at loads that are normal. I did have one process that was taking up a lot of CPU time but I think it was because I had told Smplayer to load up some 900 videos into a playlist. ROFL It took it a minute to do that and then the CPU went back to normal. It would seem that what I ran into was a bug. Whatever it was, it appears to be fixed. Time will tell tho. Dale :-) :-)
