This happens to me also. On Intrepid and a decent enough hardware - AthlonXP 2200+, 2 GB Ram and NVidia GF 6600 GT. See the screenshot - it's captured at almost zero activity. I think the spikes are related to Java somehow but I may be mistaken - especially when you run firefox and eclipse at the same time. After some time CPU load on my computer jumps to 100% and it starts to behave jerky.
