Looks like a program caught in an infinite loop. Check for processes
under your user name that are hoging all the cpu time using "ps aux".
Since it is on none, it reminds me of a crontab or a boot message, but the
time looks a bit off for that. Do you have any scripts that have an su
placed in a loop.
