If it's relevant, my hard drive now seems to be quieter too - I'm not sure when that started, possibly straight after when I upgraded to 14.04 but possibly more recently. (The hard drive used to be significantly louder under Ubuntu than it was under Windows)

I have no idea what's changed, my best guess it's caused by a recent kernel, driver or other update. It doesn't seem to be any particular process hogging the CPU as htop shows CPU usage of around 10%, yet the issue persists. The laptop base feels hotter than usual as well. I have no idea where to even start looking to diagnose this.
