If the CPU usage consistently stays over 90 percent, it is most likely due to an inadequate processor speed. This means the CPU is struggling to keep up with the demands placed on it, causing it to become overworked and slow down the system. The other options (inadequate disk space, inadequate memory speed, inadequate RAM) may also cause performance issues, but they are less likely to consistently result in a high CPU usage value.
