high average load and kernel recompilation

[Pol]

Probably due to many applications always running, the average load of my 
laptop, as reported by the 'top', is constantly around 5-6, users' cpu
percentage being around 90%, with no special application taking most of
that.
Any hints to lower the load?
Would kernel recompilation improve performance? (i am using kubuntu 8.04.2)

Thank you
