I did also notice this the last couple of weeks (after upgrade to PR 1.2). I first thought it's been because my son recorded a video which brought up a status message like "Memory full". But even after deleting all videos and pictures load maxes out a lot.
I did get some improvement though by using the power saving hack (vdd_1, vdd_2)

I've rebooted a few times and it doesnt change anything. In fact its still doing it now.
I dont have any windows open or anything going on (to the best of my knowledge) and its sitting at 90-100% ;(

In Xterm (the terminal) type in kill (or killall) hildon-input-method.
I recommend installing HTOP (from the extras repo). After using that app it will show you all running processes and you can kill from there.

I typed 'kill hildon-input-method' and hit enter.
I got this back: "sh: bad pid 'hildon-input-method'

Beware that some processes don't die easily and if the kill command doesn't work (the process still shows as running in your "top" display), then try using the "-9" argument, which tells the system to kill with extreme prejudice. Like so:
kill -9 <PID number>
Alternately, you can use the pkill (process kill) command to kill processes by their name, such as:
pkill hildon-input-method
Note that none of this tells us WHY your hildon-input-method has run amok...

this seems a bit weird. my load applet icon is always maxed out white bars, or even red. it goes back and forth... so i did 'top' and that one process up top is almost always about 75-80 percent.
