just went through a similar issue here. Although we WERE running CF 4.5
Eventually we narrowed it down to a Verity issue. People were uploading files that were in excess of 20MB and while trying to index this file, CF would hog nearly 100% of server resources. the solution I came up with was building a nifty custom tag that keeps track of the total size of a collection of files indexed and then creates a new collection if it gets too big and then searches accross multiple collections. It works beautifully and now we have upgraded to CF 5 over the weekend (about to pass out from all of the server migration stuffs we did) and not only to the collection perform a million times better while searching, but CF can index those large files without bombing. Hope this help or at least gives you a place to start.

The spikes last anywhere from a few seconds to 10 minutes. We are currently running Win2k, Cluster Cats, CF 5.0, and the servers have 528mb RAM installed. The cluster contains 2 servers. Has anyone else experienced this? It does not happen every day, so it's been difficult to pinpoint.
