I have the same problem here. In my case I could narrow the problem to the following situation:
The spike in processor activity appears only when I load html-files that reside in the home directory on my own computer with NoScript enabled.
When I disable NoScript and load the file, there are no processor spikes.
Other html-files that I access on the web don't cause any adverse symptoms, especially no processor spikes.
It doesn't make a difference wether I configure the html-file in NoScript as "default", "trusted", "temp. trusted" or "untrusted".
Here are two screenshots with the "top"-utility, one with Noscript disabled and the other one with NoScript enabled. The html-file is configured as "trusted" in NoScript.
The file is only a basic html-file with header and footer. It is otherwise empty. Especially there are no scripts in it.
I merged the two screenshots into one image.
