What service pack level is your Exchange at? Is it updated to the latest, Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2? There were some CPU utilization issues of STORE.EXE prior to SP1.

Anti-virus can play a large role in the performance of your exchange server, particularly store.exe. If you temporarily disable your anti-virus, does the CPU utilization of said processes drop significantly? At a minimum, the exchange MDBDATA and MTADATA directories should be EXCLUDED from your anti-virus real-time file scanning component.
