If you can attach with gdb, then there is a high probability that
the "current" thread is the one that is eating up all the CPU.

Do "info threads", and look for the thread that has an asterisk
("*") in the left hand column.

If you do "continue" and then control-c and repeat the info threads
command, it is likely that the busy thread will remain as the
"current" thread each time (or the majority of times).

Otherwise, gdb does not have a formal way of showing you which
thread is the most busy.
