You are looking at processes; not tasks - correct? Now look at what that process is doing to consume so much time. Virtual memory? IO access? Page faults? Base priority? User name for that process? What is happening on the network connection? How many users are really on the machine? Do this happen for other Users on same machine?

What do the system event logs say?
