Dear all,

I appear to have a CPU bottleneck. The CPU is averaging at about 80% with SQL Server causing the most of this work. In addition to this, peaking in the same areas in Perfmon is the processer queue length.

Can anyone advise possible reasons why SQL Server would be working hard like this?
