After lots of debuggin, I figured out the problem is caused by setting direction: ltr in a CSS property applied to body.

I replaced css direction by putting the dir="rtl" attribute on body instead, and CPU usage goes to 0.

I don't know why using CSS rather than the attribute would cause the problem, but making the change fixed it.
