This will tell you what processes are causing the most CPU activity at any one time. This may give you a clue as to what is causing the extra activity. You also may need to consider investing in more RAM. This is just a guess, since you don't say how much RAM you are running with. An excellent investment is iStat Menus (used to be free but now shareware). Excellent software, but you do need lots of room in your menu bar to use all of its features. This will tell you at a glance everything useful that is reported by Activity Monitor.
