Try checking ps or top to see what processes are taking up cpu time. also
check vstat to check your virtual memory useage. Is the disk grinding a
lot??? you may have problems with your swap file, try disabling it.  Mabey
try a disk scan with fschk.

If something keeps forking processes you may have a lot of zombie process
around eating up memory and kernel resources, you will see these with ps.
It probably means something is not configured right.

Hope this helps.
