BTW, I remember having such issue (including real CPU load), but that time, avahi-daemon was to blame, related to VPN. But it was shown in htop. Disabling avahi-daemon has helped.
On recreating VMs (or VM templates): It might help if the load is shown in Qubes Manager. If the load is not shown in Qubes Manager, I'd guess it is a Xen-related or dom0-related issue.
