Yes, happening on i686 on P4 at 2Ghz and x86_64 on vmware core 2 duo @ 2Ghz.

It is temporary, and shortly after it starts (30s or so) stops.. until you 
change tabs.  If I stay on the graph tab it never stops.  Open a bug I've got a 
backtrace during the cpu spin and a screenshot of it drawing the graphs strangely.
