It looks like the offending process is OWSTIMER.EXE, how can I delete a corrupt workflow?

The three times I've encountered this, it was relatively easy to identify the problematic workflow by simply asking the people who create workflows which ones they have modified in the past month or so. From there you need to go to the suspected list settings and stop and workflows in process and then delete the workflow from the list itself. After that, restart OWSTimer and give it about 5 minutes. If it is back to 100% CPU again then there is another corrupt workflow. Microsoft has some tools that can make it a bit easier to troubleshoot this so you might want to open a call with them.
