I checked all the related files one by one. :-)
I found thst the CPU 100% usage's cause is fontconfig.
In my system, the fontconfig is 2.11.1.
I reverted this to 2.10.2's fontconfig, then problem has disappeared!

I wonder if the 2.11.1's fontconfig has got a bug?
Maybe not.

But waht's the matter, I wonder.

Thanks,
