Maybe some of the following observations might help.

I have seen this when DNS is not working and there are register 
statements that use hostnames or FQDNs.  That might have been a bug that 
was fixed though.

I have also seen this on a server under very heavy load with IVR and 
queues and reload issued many times.  A stop now and asterisk would 
bring it back to full speed.  Again, this was a while ago, maybe that 
bug was fixed too.

The third time I have seen it is if you are using the manager interface 
extensively, same as before, saw that maybe a year ago, might be fixed now.

Thanks,
Steve
