As end user I changed to Google calendar for me and my family, after having had to use risky Outlook (and Explorer!) for a generation at my employer. That was after having tried to use Kontact for a period. I really do not know if this helps anything with hour CPU problem... However, our life became much easier and the colors makes it very clear who's doing what and what we do together. Excellent. Works well with Kubuntu.
