Yes, it does.

It will, for whatever reason, not show in a yakuake session, but if I escape 
out to a "real" terminal session, there is a chromium, nice=0 eating 100% CPU. 
Manually run sessions are niced to 15. The nice=0 is that "service" (though I 
thought I placed nice on its command line and later disabled it entirely but 
it was reenabled). This is why the bug was filed against Chromium.

The problem occurs after a few minutes live, regardless of usage.

I have not seen a similarly symptomed kwin / nvidia problem that has gotten 
complaints on the mailing lists. I have had 100% problems without Chromium 
(but that service might have been around anyway).
