 * Hi,
 * I was recently told that my CPU usage was getting to be a joke and in the end
   was booted from the hosting firm. My new hosting firm said that the best way 
   to resolve this issue was to upgrade from 2.6.2 to a later version (3.0.1).
 * I have done this but my CPU usage is even worst as the report states

 * Hi there
    My CPU usage is up to 80% and my host is very unhappy and the only 
   reason he has suspended my account is that he’s a mate. Did you find any answers
   to date to curb CPU usage?
 * Any help would be much appreciated.

 * Try decativating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Default theme (WordPress
   2.9) or the Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0) to rule-out a theme-specific issue.
 * If neither of those help, try caching:
