When the CPU load is high, the machine is slow to respond to keyboard events.
I've found the solution:
The e1000e NIC had stopped working, which I hadn't noticed since I'm nearly always on wireless.
Shutting down and starting again didn't solve the problem.
I had to remove the battery from the laptop and inserting it again after a few minutes to get the NIC to reset.
No more high CPU load from events/[01].
