it's probably a zombie/hung application. run kpm, top, gtop or whatever task manager you like, sort processes by CPU time the are taking, anything above 30% is high. so kill it and see what happens. anyway, note that prcesses that have the string " idle " in their names are not necesarily taking up processor cycles. for example, if you have a process taking 95% of CPU time called kernel-idle ( just making the name up ) it just means that CPU is idle 95% of it's time.
