So, looks like emerge -e world didn't help after all. So what should
I check now? Do I need to get my hammer out?

False alarm. I looked at top and noticed that that stupid hp-systray
was using about 90% of my CPU. I killed that thing and now it plays
fine again.
I do wish they would fix that thing. For some reason hp-systray does
that from time to time. It is usually after dbus has a hiccup. Logging
out of KDE and back in again usually fixes it tho.
Anyway, back to normal. Well, normal for me anyway. ;-)
Whatever hp-systray is, I'd dump it.
When a single app or feature kills the entire machine and it's ability to draw
on the screen, it's time to find a way to do without the app.
Well, it makes my printer print. That's what I *think* anyway. I may
not need it anymore. I need to check on that. It has been doing that
once in a blue moon for a long time. Usually, it is after I upgrade
dbus and the config file changes and I haven't restarted both dbus and
KDE. There seems to be some sort of clash between the two, or three,
and the race is on and my CPU is the gas pedal. I didn't pay much
attention this very last time but once before it was dbus, hp-systray
and something KDE that was fighting. Bad thing is, it started last
night and raced all night long and I didn't notice it. My eyes were
closed. I'm trying to run folding since it is cool now and it wasted
all my folding time on worthless crap. :-@
I just wish it would suicide itself instead of making my CPU go nuts.
Glad I have a HUGE CPU heat sink too.
