This is something I've observed cross-platform (Windows, macOS and Linux) across both nVidia and AMD machines with updated drivers. Actually try it.

Get your favourite Qt program, resize the window like a madman and watch your CPU usage launch into the stratosphere.

There are some reports of bad things happening with inefficient QPainter usage, and some bugs related to text drawing especially after qt5, after a cursory look...would be better to provide specific examples. I do rather suspect something machine or even program specific, though.
