Sounds like JTA is attempting to do a recovery, which was probably caused by bringing the app server down in a non-clear manner (BSOD, for example). I can see where this would be CPU-heavy. You could try taking thread dumps to see what the threads are doing. You should also ask this question in the "JBoss Transactions" forum; if you are confident that your database is correct there are probably some files you could delete to prevent the recovery.

thanks Peter, I do bring down server in unusualy manner (kill it from taks manager). because it throws permGen error every now and then and gets stuck there. perhaps I should move it to windows server machine and see how ti goes. I guess my database is ok, its SQL server 2005 database and I believe db structures etc is all neat.
