Does top show something unusual?
I can confirm similar, not as extreme as it seems to be for you, with
Ubuntu Maverick, Debian stable and testing. For Ubuntu Maverick it might
be even more evil as for you. There something uses 90% CPU, can't
remember the name and won't reboot and there's a zombie for every GNOME
session.
