I've seen this behaviour before on Windows guests with incorrect HAL
(non-ACPI) causing the guests to basically busy spin on the CPUs ...

I had to rebuild the box with an appropriate HAL to get it to behave
sanely...

Incidentally your performance in that guest will always be fairly poor due
to a lack of virtio drivers and windows 2000 has been out of support for a
few years now ... you really should not be using it in general...
