One of the reason why Seahorse could be hammering your CPU is because
hardware random number generator tools are not running. The other day I
noticed increase in CPU utilization and then noticed that rng-tools are
not running (the normal rng traffic would not show up in tcpdump). I
suggest that you check your tpm or prng to make sure it is doing what it
should. Anyhow, as soon as I started rng-tools, cpu utilization
normalized. An interesting question is why rng suddenly stopped...

Title:
  high cpu usage when a properties window is open

Status in “seahorse” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: seahorse

  This bug affects both 2.30 and 2.32 (Lucid and Maverick).

  When you open Seahorse find some password and open its properties
  window, CPU usage skyrockets. It's not exactly a major problem, but it
  also doesn't seem necessary.
