Sorry, my problem is high **G**PU, not **C**PU load and I don't see something
useful there.

However, I was able to reproduce the problem on 2 machines. Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new user or reset configuration
2. Login to create configs
3. Enable the desktop effect "Show Paint" to be able to comprehend redraws
4. See everything is normal, no unnecessary redraws are happening. GPU load is
normal (<1%)
5. Configure Desktop, switch "Wallpaper Type" to "Slideshow" and add a folder
with images
6. Raise the default interval from 1s to something higher
7. Apply
8. Enjoy the disco with all the redraws

It might be necessary to enable/disable the slideshow again, but it happens for
me almost every time. Sometimes plasmashell even crashes when enabling the
slideshow

Yes, folder view has become the default recently, my bad.
Anyway, I've set it to desktop, not folder view. Changing it back and forth
might have helped, but I'll have to monitor that.

I believe the default workspace is set to "Layout: Folder View", which may have
the same effect. Each distribution is different and I don't know what Arch
does.  It may be worth trying "Layout: Desktop Containment" and see if anything
changes.  Do a full reboot afterwards; a simple X restart did not have an
effect for me.

Reassigning to Plasma, KWin is off the hook
