Back when I was running Mandrake (8.2 days), I had a similar problem.
When I ran top, I found that logrotate was bz2-ing some bodaceous log
file which I didn't even know existed.

As others have suggested, use ps and top to see which processes are
eating your cycles. Then go into the Mandrake Control Centre and turn
off anything which you don't specifically need.
