iBus has been a problem for more than just Lubuntu. I wish that their
developers were more responsive. I tried to reach out to them several
times to no avail.

I think it's quite possible that iBus could be the problem. Quit iBus
and run for a while and see what happens. I admit I think you must
first have this problem in order to see the difference with iBus. My
suspicion is the combination of software asking more out of your
hardware than it's capable of handling.
