I'm on Trusty and just got this same issue with gedit, 95%CPU and slow/no response to typing. This is the first time I got this. I noticed that it only occured when I open gedit via the launcher to create a new document. I then opened gedit by double-clicking an existing textfile and it opened without problem, no heavy CPU load, good response, even for a new empty file. After closing gedit and start via the launcher everything was OK again. But this makes it impossible for me to reproduce the issue and investigate some more.

I noticed this since I've installed Ubuntu 9.04. I was poking in the fonts setting under the appearance preferences and I thought I noticed a slight difference if I turn off all processing and make the font glyph render without subpixel rendering and hinting. However it is merely marginal. To make sure it was not the graphics drivers I switched from the ati drivers to vesa but that did not help at all.
