It's doing some background printing with a cheap laser printer? Happens to
me with a Brother; the printer uses the CPU to make up the pages.

Or do these things happen with Addmail running (I don't know if you use it)
and with settings that don't delete processed messages? That's another
classic Mac slower-downer.

I don't know anything else that uses CPU time without telling you but
that's the effect it has.
