Troubleshooting High CPU utilization can be addressed from a couple of different standpoints. In the first instance, you might have a single process consuming CPU - essentially a runaway process. However, what happens if there is no runaway process, and yet the CPU utilization still continues to run high, sometimes at 100% for an extended period of time? You may be experiencing a processor bottleneck instead. Processor bottlenecks occur when the processor is so busy that it cannot respond to requests for a significant period of time.
