What I have seen of late is that if mail fetching "gets stuck" at one or 
more accounts (I have 5 in my Kontact/KMail) then KMail chews around 25% 
of CPU while it "trying". If I cancel the fetch or it timeouts KMail 
basically use nothing again.

This I have noticed also since Kubuntu 10.10, am now on KMail 1.13.5
