Good question, but speculating (without debugging, evidence, or experience)
is not constructive.
An educated guess is often that not all video drivers support being fully hw
accelerated (and fallback to software rendering... which incurs a higher cpu
cost). One such too-often trouble-maker is nouveau, unfortunately
well, i posted the CPU - Intel Sandy Bridge / IvyBridge with 3.40 Ghz
and Intel graphics - what is there to render all time long for 2
folder-views, systemload-widget, network-traffic-widget und
disk-io-widget plus the control bar when having konsole maximized with
htop and plasmashell is most of the time on top?
sorry but that cpu usage for "just being" here was not so long a go a
complete PC running operating system and applications and these days we
have a desktop doing practically nothing then beeing here
in fact se 5-10 watts more power consumation between logged out and only
sddm running and a kde session is a lot when e are talk about a machine
running 3 virtual machines and a ton of network servics in the
backgriound including the cable modem, a usb-hub and a sip-phone
consumes 48-55 watts in total
