In case anyone else finds this thread, I found the problem. My site had been hacked with some type of php spam mailer that was in hidden files. When I switched hosts, as a last ditch effort to correct the problem, the new host did a security scan that found the infected files. The previous scans for hacked files I had done with free services found nothing.

I’ve disabled the theme now, and went to a basic theme. It’s been switched over an hour, and the cpu is still spiking.
Any other ideas? I’m monitoring now with every plugin disabled and the theme switched to a blank theme. I also disabled wp-cron, and enabled it to run every hour through c-panel.
But I still see index.php over and over from the server side raw logs the web host is sending me.
Could that be part of the problem?
