Comment:

 I'm afraid I've had to turn Tor off now and only start it when I need it -
 it was getting too painful. I can't see what triggered it, as it seemed to
 happen at different times of the day. I had nothing open except the icon
 in the tray, and could use it fine for a while, then the CPU would soar
 while I wasn't using it. Logging wasn't at debug (notice stdout) and I
 only had 2 (uTorrent and FF), now 1, application set to use it.

 I'm assuming that there is some service or application that "interferes"
 with how Tor works and triggers some activity. Now that I use it less
 frequently, I can work around the problem, so it's much less of an
 issue...
