I have had it for a few month now.
Will test on a different computer and upgrade to F32. Had issues with
F31 and LUKS support between LUKS 1 and LUKS 2 so concerned about
upgrading.

Upgraded to F32.
Was having issues with an already working account and decided to test
removing the old config files. Now that I have done that, when I switch
to a different user, I am now using a core at close to 100%. Never
below 99.3%
kwin_x11 at full process.
It is something in the configuration files that affects this so it is
related to some setting.
