Here's a method that may show you what's eating up the CPU. Go into

Applications->Utilities->Process Viewer

This will show you all the processes running on the system and how much 
of the CPU they're using. Look for something that's using nearly all 
your clock cycles. You have to let it run for a minute or so before you 
believe it because just launching the process manager will skew the 
numbers for a short time.

A better process listing is gotten by typing "top -v" into a terminal 
window--without the quotes.
