Copying from USB NTFS device with Dolphin (KDE) causes 100% CPU usage

I am copying +/- 30 GB of Music files (flac) from my external USB HDD which is formatted as NTFS.

I have installed ntfs-3g and am experiencing near 100% CPU usage. What's wrong?

Additional info: I am using KDE and initiated the copying through dolphin. KDE's system monitor only shows CPU usage near 100%, but no processes in the process view could be responsable.

Thanks!

What mount options are used for that ntfs drive?

Edit: There are many similar threads but I couldn't find a solution other than trying out some kernel and cpufrequtils fun.
