After KDE plasma 6 update, my CPU usage increased significantly while on lockscreen.
This caused the processor to reach high temperatures and lose electricity unnecessarily. Main processes that caused this were:
Xorg --nolisten tcp [...] # ~ 60% CPU usage
kwin_x11 --replace # ~ 40% CPU usage
kwin_x11 --replace # ~ 20% CPU usage
I suspect it has something to do with the multi monitor setup.
**Solution:**
To fix this you need to:
1. go to system settings > Display and Monitor > Compositor
2. Uncheck Enable on startup
3. Confirm
4. Reboot
After that CPU usage on lockscreen goes back to normal.
