To see what generators QuickLook has installed, open the Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and run the following command:

qlmanage -m

This will give you a quick dump of what is loaded at the moment with QuickLook. Also pay attention to what directories you have open at the time your CPU spikes (QL doesn't generate thumbnails for anything other than a directory or file being displayed in the Finder or other application viewing a file list).

It will output something like this

[uniform type identifier] -> path (version) [uniform type identifier] -> path (version - loaded)

The -m flag also accepts several arguments:

• plugins Show the generators list (default action)
• server Show quicklookd life information
• memory Show quicklookd memory consumption
• burst Show statistics about the last burst
• threads Show concurrent accesses stats
• other Show other information about quicklookd

Additionally, don't bother with man qlmanage as the manual isn't as good as the built-in help qlmanage -h.

If you want to see if DraftSight has a plugin loaded (or installed), try running qlmange -m plugins | grep -i "draftsight".
