15" MacBook Pro Core 2 duo 2.33mhz.

My CPU is pegged at 45%, 76 degrees and fan speed is 4110rpm. When I check activity monitor my user cpu is ~45% and system is ~15% and when I add up all of the running apps I can only total 7% or so - what (and how might I find out) are the hidden processes that are taking up the rest of the cpu and causing the fan to peg too?
