Exactly! :)

I use both GNOME and KDE and I noticed that while using KDE the CPU was also hovering at 100% I was thinking that the bug

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484054

had also hit KDE, but it was this new service nepomukservices that was hogging the CPU.  I had never heard of it or its intentions and therefore I had to ask.  Thanks to all user who have answered my question.
