You'll have to provide more details in order for us to help.
First, what version of Eclipse and OS?
For example of other details that will help: when you see your CPU go to 
100% usage, what processes is using it? What amount of system memory is 
being reported in use by Eclipse? Is your filesystem/disk being used 
when this happens (there are various tools that monitor filesystem.disk 
reading/writing)? What does the Eclipse Heap monitor report (it shows in 
the lower-right corner when you enable the Preference > General > Show 
Heap status)?
Obviously yours is a unique experience, otherwise there would be lots of 
people reporting the same symptoms.
