Find Queries Taking Most CPU (Processor)

If your box is CPU bound then this is the script you need. The first query will order the results based on the queries that have used the most CPU time since the SQL Server instance has been restarted (or the server has been rebooted). The second query orders the results based upon the average CPU time that each query takes.
