SQL Server 2005 Express CPU usage too high??

I have a website with about 130,000 page views per day, I'm using a P4 2.8G/1GB RAM dedicated server for database. When I upgraded my database to SQL Server 2005 Express, I noticed the CPU usage goes too high, sometimes the CPU usage goes to 100%. My database table only has about 25K records.
My questions is how to optimize my database Is there any tips to do that

    start by getting a trace profile to see which statements are taking up the most time in terms of Duration, CPU and Reads. Then look at the plan.

    I'm using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, it does not contain the SQL Profiler Tool. Is it possible to download it separately

    What did you search for that couldn't get you the information

    Anyways, use Profiler tool, or use TSQL.
