As Qt switched from v8 to v4 (replacing the code that triggered this)
and we haven't seen this in a long time, we can close this now.

unity8 with PID 713 is performing ~450-470 context switches a second.
But what is it doing?
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colin-king/white && sudo apt-get update && sudo
apt-get install health-check
sudo health-check -p 713 -d 10
CPU usage:
PID Process USR% SYS% TOTAL%
713 unity8 27.29 6.40 33.69 (medium load)
^^ that's kinda busy!

Looks like it may be context switching like mad on a futex.
When the screen is not blank but device is idle, unity8 is far less busy.
