[ISSForum] Site Protector and the ISS database on VMware CPU 100%

Not sure if everyone got this.
If it's a duplicate, forgive me.

We did discover at least part of the problem with the high utilization.
As part of the debugging process, I went thru the event log and discovered a 
spooler error.
We reported this to our server team and asked if this could cause the condition 
that we are experiencing.

This was their response and after the server guy did his thing, we are running 
much better.
Thanks for the responses to my question.

"You guys need the spooler service for any reason?  It's got a corrupt perfmon 
dll for the spooler service.  Doesn't seem like a big deal right?  Well, I've 
seen these perflib errors kill a servers performance before.  If you don't need 
performance monitoring on the spooler service I would recommend running the 
Extensible Counter Tool from MS to disable the spooler counter so it won't keep 
trying to retrieve this info.  Let me know if you want me to do this."
