you are kidding, aren't you? KDE 3.5.1 is very old, why not try at least 3.5.9 or 3.5.10?


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

2% CPU is a problem? Well, wait till u see KDE4 :-)

give "powertop" a try, probably some device gets pulled or generates strange events.
