I think that's caused by a number of users who keep email on the server, 
and they're constantly checking it - I see their in.qpopper commands hang 
around for a while using tons of resource.

I dealt with a RaQ4 once that had heavy POP3 usage and I tracked the 
problem down to qpopper. At the time I compiled a newer version from source 
but since then I have used a free package from Solarspeed that also dealt 
with the same problem.

Otherwise as with all Cobalt servers, check the fans.
