Process Info (SQL Server Enterprise - Management - Current Activity)

Dear All
I have problem with my database server which running SQL server 2000.
The server running very slow. The worst case, to save a record required
more than 20-30 seconds.
Since this problem, I usually monitoring Process Info from Enterprise
Manager (Management - Current Activity), and I found a misterious
process as follow :
1. User : System
AccessTo : Master
Status : Background
Common : Task Manager
Waiting : >438 Million
2. User : System
AccessTo : Master
Status : Background
Common : Task Manager
Physical IO : > 51000
3. User : Administrator (Join domain)
Database : MSDB
Status : Sleeping
Common : Awaiting Command
App : SQL Agent Alert Engine
CPU Usage : > 16 Million
Anybody know about these condition? Does it normal?
Thanks
MichaelMike
What is amount of memory?
Run SQL Server Profiler to see what is going on. (Blocking ,locks)
EXEC sp_who2 , see blkby column (If I remember well).

Amount of memory that be used by SQL Server is 1 GB.
I've check using sp_who, and on nothing on column blkby.
I think that not caused by Locks.
Note : After I restart the server, everything run well for a while. In
the worst case, the problem will be occured in 1 day, but usually
system running well within 3,4 days.
