A utility like top or htop will tell you in real time which process is abusing your CPU. In my case, whenever CPU is up to 100%, the culprit is always the browser, executing some braindead javascript in an infinite loop. If you use firefox (like me), there are many addons out there that enable/disable javascript on demand, or give you more fine-grained control. Other browsers probably have something analogous as well. I generally keep javascript off by default, and turn it on only when I need it for a particular page. That keeps my (oldish) CPU usage much more reasonable. Besides, most of the web pages out there use javascript merely to display ads and other useless cruft and bloat that just gets in my way of the actual useful content on the page.
