Sorry I wanted to send you the apport from my tuser account but failed due to email-verification and stuff which annoyed me enough to give up.
With a new user tuser, just created for this purpose I can reproduce the issue. I reboot, login screen, ~80W, login tusr ~130W. I removed this Welcome Ubuntu thingy. And yes first I suspected plugins and stuff, disabled them. But even with a fresh, newly created user it happens. It doesn't seem to be the load, it seems to be the frequency. Using cpu util of the kernel I can hinder the cpu to boost setting it to powersave. The power draw is significantly lower. Something seems to run very frequent keeping cpu from going to sleep. Currently typing this message in Firefox and having a console with htop running. The cores should be mostly at 2200MHz. But the aren't. Htops top scorers are htop 3-5%, gnome-shell 1-2% and /usr/bin/vxc-init 1-2%.
