Comment(by dtauerbach):

 I was able to reproduce two phenomena separately: first, CPU becoming very
 high; second, infinite loop regarding setting cookies. The infinite loop
 shows up in the console, here's an example:

 KMOO:

  Unlocking name:uuid2domain:.adnxs.com KMOO.js:200
 * Checking removed cookie `uuid2` from `.adnxs.com` (
 Object
 ) KMOO.js:200
   * Valid opt-out cookie `uuid2` was removed from `.adnxs.com`; recreating
 in 5s KMOO.js:200
 - Locking name:uuid2domain:.adnxs.com KMOO.js:200
 * Checking changed/added cookie `uuid2` from `.adnxs.com` (
 Object
 ) KMOO.js:200
   * Valid opt-out cookie `uuid2` was added to `.adnxs.com`. KMOO.js:200
 - Unlocking name:uuid2domain:.adnxs.com KMOO.js:200
 * Checking removed cookie `uuid2` from `.adnxs.com` (
 Object
 )
 [snip]

 HTTPS E:

 Securing cookie uuid2 for .adnxs.com, was secure=false util.js:7
 Applicable rules for .adnxs.com: util.js:7
   AppNexus util.js:7
 Securing cookie uuid2 for .adnxs.com, was secure=false util.js:7
 Applicable rules for .adnxs.com: util.js:7
   AppNexus util.js:7
 Securing cookie uuid2 for .adnxs.com, was secure=false

 However, this loop doesn't seem to be causing very high CPU load in the
 present case -- note the 5 second wait. When high CPU was experienced, I
 had to shut down Chrome before I could get useful logs. Not sure if the
 two issues are related or not, need to investigate more.

 System specs:
 Linux (Ubuntu 12.04)
 Chrome 26.0.1397.2 dev
 HTTPS Everywhere 2013.1.18
 Keep More Opt-Opts 1.0.0
