Did you shut down proggies one at a time so see which one was eating up your CPU clocks?

A likely culprit may be one of the docklets in ObjectDock. Try deleting them, then reloading them one at a time and see what happens

Try unloading ObjectDock. That may be the problem for you. It was for me so I stopped using it. It's difficult to know exactly what the problem is without seeing your task manager, and the programs running on your system. I would check for spyware too. That can slow down your system. Run Spybot, its always a good idea when your computer starts slowing down.
