You can use the < and > keys (litterally, the less-than and
greater-than, I'm not typing something to represent the cursor keys), to
change which column "top" sorts by.  That can help find some tasks that
aren't CPU hungry.  Using the z and x options helps to show which is the
current sort item, as well.

My guess would be updated or slocate indexing your drive, or one of the
other file indexing tools (tracker, beagle, etc.).
