Performance problem with Windows XP can't figure it out.

Hello.
My dell laptop running Windows XP SP 3. Appears starting an app,
closing an app. Even right clicking to display a drop down menu can
take time. Drilling down the start menu's sub menu's (example
Clicking start > settings > control panel ) can take time to draw
each
menu. It's almost as if the computer is caching. Music stutters on
itunes.
Laptop has wireless connection but is also docked with an ethernet
cable attached.
I just can't figure out what is causing all the cpu usage, when a
clear majority of them are at 0 cpu and the ones that have usage
don't
appear to be using too much resources.
any suggestions are welcome
thanks.
