Reproducable on guest and -user account.
Seen on user account first.
Initial report and 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.
