This is pure guess, not a valid troubleshooting diagnostic test, but back in the days when I had KDE libraries on my machine and used Kmail, occasionally a KDE-initiated dbus-daemon process would go rogue and consume upward of 95% of my CPU, sometimes 99%. I "Cured" the problem with a script that hunted down long-running (5 seconds or more) 95% plus dbus-daemon instances. Nowadays I have no KDE libraries or programs, so I no longer use my script. Top or htop would show what's burning up your CPU, or perhaps memory. If it turns around it's rogue dbus-daemon processes, I can give you my script.
