I get similar symptoms when mutt encounters a new GPG key in a mailinglist and gpg rebuilds the trustdb, completely hogging one core. I can tell because I have a CPU monitor in the panel. My suggestion would be to find some application that can write a log with sufficient granularity to see which part of your system is hogged (but my money is on the CPU). This could also be a home made script ;) You might need to 'nice' the monitor application/script so that it will be able to do its work while the hog is locking up your system.
