It's the VM itself. If it's very active even though Windows appears to be doing nothing it may be busy swapping virtual memory within Windows. Try...
Try repairing permissions on the Mac.
Stop the VM. Choose menu Virtual Machine->Configuration. There you'll find the startup options.

Deactivate the "Parallels Coherence Service" and the "Parallels Tools Service" in Windows, using msconfig. Mind that you deactivate these two...
