Take a look at your cron jobs.

I don't know, a good start might be checking your rc-scripts, I mean
which ones are turned on. switching off the non-mandatory ones might be
a start. then, what window-manager are you using? could it, or some
related sft be the reason? you should start  from as little 'extra'
(i.e. wm, daemons..) as possible and go to enable things one by one.
