I saw this with 2.1.127 after having an uptime of 2 days. The system was using 98%-ish of the CPU and everything was of course really slow. Nothing seemed to not work, though. It was just extremely slow.
It have no idea what program caused it. The shutdown was also really slow until the point where all programs were killed. Then the rest of the shutdown (unmounting, mostly) was at normal speed. That causes me to believe that it was some program and not the kernel as such that was responsible for this. But who am I to tell?
