I have an MSI GE60 2PC Apache model Gamebook. I also use it for my collage work. It runs Ubuntu 14.10. I have a CPU usage problem while creating a ".c" file. I use the default text editor; while I code, CPU usage goes 60-65%. My CPU is Intel core i7 4710HQ.

As a possible solution I suggest removing ibus. It has been reported that is causing issues with gedit. To do that, run:
sudo apt-get remove ibus
Then reboot, to be sure, and check if the problem went away.

try to open gnome-system-monitor as root, and then go to "processes" tab, it may point out the process responsible for high CPU usage. **NOTE** that some infinite loops may cause High CPU usage, so coding properly may help no matter what IDE/text editor you are using – younes Dec 17 '14 at 12:50

Another solution is to choose none for "Keyboard Input Method System" in System Settings -> Language Support.
This list enables (or disables) so called “Input Method Editors” (IME). They are needed where multiple key-strokes should result in one letter/character and you need graphical feedback about the selection and confirmation process (e.g. a list to choose from). This is used for Chinese and Japanese, because they have thousands of characters.
With normal keyboards languages, like Russian, Greek and all the others which don’t need more than about 100 characters/letters can use other tricks to get to the goal. “Dead keys”, AltGr for example, or simply Shift. from: What do the 4 keyboard input method systems mean?
