I am getting the same issue here too
Fresh install of 9.04 today. The installer failed and shut down the PC at about 25-27%. I tried to install 3 times.

I made a bootable USB to install Ubuntu and this time it worked.

With nothing running, first boot I noticed the PC was very slow. I checked the performance meter, 1/2 CPU was constantly at 100%.
It was switching CPU over every 60 sec or so.

Even on LiveCD, same issue. Very sluggish, 100% CPU used with no application running. CPU FAN running high speed all the time.
No process is using 100%. Only process to use about£% is the Gnome manager. Everything else at 0%.

My laptop is a Compaq Presario CQ60, AMD Turion 64 X2.

HTH
