Well, I don't know about other people who do diagnostics but for me this
is pretty broad.  I can name thousands of things (right off) that could
go wrong and cause that kind of CPU usage.

Lets start off with taking a snapshot of CPU usage, try:
$~: ps -eo pcpu,user,args | sort -k 1 -r > ~/cpu_snapshot.txt
