Bug Description
Reproducable on guest and -user account. (on pc and laptop)
Seen on user account first.
Initial report from guest account (attached .xession-errors and screenshot of terminal output).
Open a terminal and run 'top' to view processes.
Open Nautilus, right click only on bookmarked folders and open properties.
Result: nautilus, unity-panel and -hud service race cpu.
Fan speed increases from ~1100 to ~2000 rpm (viewed on user account with conky).
Viewing properties of folders which aren't bookmarked doesn't result in cpu race.
The behaviour has been introduced since recent unity updates.

That's really weird, and I managed to reproduce it too. Can't understand how this is related to Unity, but I guess it's related to the appmenu exported by the properties dialog. Not sure though.
