More and more, a single user's IE and Acrobat will cause sustained spikes in CPU utilization that will slow down everyone on the server. We have 6 servers supporting about 70 users, so between 8 and 12 users on a server depending on the day. The servers are all dual CPUs, with 2-4Gb of RAM each. The've been in production for several years without problems and generally perform very well. IE and Acrobat seem to be the biggest CPU hogs and it seems to be getting worse.
I believe in IE it is flash, java and other animation/refreshes, etc that cause the problem. Many news sites will cause this. We do have Advanced, but not enterprise, so no built in CPU management. Is there another way to control how much an individual user can affect the CPU?
