root use 99.9% for apache?

hi,
afhter a kernel upgrade (Kernel 2.4.20-31.9 on RedHat)
i note some high apache usage from root. In other words i have this situation you can see below. I never had this strange apache load from root befor. Also mailmann use same high load for some process...
However the server is not overloaded... is there any way to check whitch process does use this CPU?

thanks a lot
