top is your friend here.

Try running it in batch mode (-b startup flag) and output it to a file 
so that when you come back to your machine you don't de-prioritise the 
process that was hogging the CPU.

Common culprits are "updatedb" which updates the "locate" command's 
cache and also, as Dave says, beagled.

If it's something else (e.g. X etc) then maybe you have a screensaver 
running.

Beyond that post back what you find as usual.
