I have seen something similar to this where web service client was
repeatedly making calls to a web service ... Apparently stuck in a loop of
some kind. These requests were coming in so quickly that is basically
amounted to a dos attack against remedy (it brought the arplugin server
down quickly, and after a while it brought the whole arsystem to its knees)

In that case we figured it out by watching the API log and noticing that
all the requests were coming from midtier for a specific user. Might be
worth checking that out if it's a possibility in your environment.
