Also, what kind of CPU(s) are we talking about? And when you say that your server is "brought to its knees", do you mean that other process are not able to get any CPU time and that they are having to wait? Rather than percentage of CPU usage, a better statistic is to consider your server's load average (I don't know how to get the load average on a Windows box, but on Unix, type "uptime"). If your load is high (meaning consistently more than 1 per CPU), then you have problems, because that means that other process are having to wait for cycles. But just having your CPU spike for a few seconds isn't necessarily bad as long other processes aren't kept waiting. If no other process need CPU time, it makes sense for one or two process to use as much as they can.
