Thanks again for the help, sadly it doesn't seem to be helping. I've run the
repair permissions several times now. I didn't copy the results for the
first three times and thought I was making progress because it seemed to be
different errors getting corrected. The last three times I've run it seems
to keep fixing the same errors and the cpu remains pegged at 100%. I've been
rebooting between repairs. I've run the update_prebinding a couple of times
but I didn't capture the output and probably couldn't make sense of it
anyway. The fsck I've run a couple of times and that has always come back
with no problems.

I've included the text of the repair permissions report. I didn't have
Office or Appleworks on my OS 9 tower so I used BBedit to open the .rtf file
(hence the goofy formatting). Maybe this will shed some light on my problem.
