Hi there, exact same issue here, and apparently exact same setup. My machine recently started doing the same thing, fan blowing like crazy and when i go look kodi-x11 is at 100% or more even when idle. It's been rock solid for years (literally, like 5 years!) and never seen anything like this.
Linux Mint 19.2 Xfce (based on Ubuntu 18.04) up-to-date, Kodi 18.5, GPU GeForce 210, nvidia graphics 340.107
I first thought the upgrade from Kodi 18.4 to 18.5 might have been related, but after downgrading to 18.3 (only version I could find) the issue is still there. Only thing I can see is that number of plugins got recently updated, I tried disabling them one by one but not all could be disabled due to dependencies, most notably some back-end services like python stuff and 'common plugin cache'.
