Ryan,

Check out "DBCC SQLPERF(WAITSTATS)", and also take a look at the "sysprocesses" table - with columns waittype, waittime, lastwaittype and SPID. Something like:

SELECT spid AS SPID, waittype AS WaitType, waittime AS WaitTime, lastwaittype AS LastWaitType
FROM sysprocesses
WHERE (spid > 50)
AND (waittime > 0)

A good comprehensive overview of the wait types is here:
