Or have an option in KDE config....

May be I'm wrong but it looks like a bug.

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Device0"
   VendorName   "INTEL Corporation"
   BoardName    "GMA 3600 [GMA500]"
   Driver       "modesetting"
   Option       "AccelMethod"   "glamor"
#   Option     "SWCursor"      "ON" 
   Option       "DPMS"          "TRUE"
   Option       "DRI"           "3"
EndSection

DRI3 is fine, glxgears is fine, FULL HD video is fine, Photoshop 19 is fine,
smooth graphics, LXQT - fine, XFCE - fine, chromium - smooth graphics and
performance, firefox - smooth graphics, not much CPU usage from any of them. 
I can't image how normally plasmashell can consume more CPU than chromium with
50+ tabs opened for 5+ minutes when mouse is rolled over a menu item.... 

it's just 100% and nothing helps, that's the last thing left unsolved for this
netbook. 

If you google you will find a lot of reports about plasmashell taking 100% of
CPU all of a sudden. But randomly - the only way to fix it is to kill it. It
looks very familiar to my case but in my case - it's always 100% and always
re-producible. I believe it's the same bug. It can't normally be that rolling a
mouse over an item it KDE menu can require the same amount of CPU as -
none-accelerated Full HD VIDEO requires in 7 minutes. 

It must be a bug. May be fixing it will accelerate KDE to the new performance
horizonts.
