Public bug reported: I got very HIGH CPU usage ONLY when computer going IDLE. Again, I have NO PROBLEM during work (video playback, moving windows slowly or fast, no lag, everything is perfect), BUT when I am out of computer: 20 secs after display fades out CPU fan starts and works heavily (my colleague started to complain due to my CPU fan in quiet environment).
