RE: Have we hit the wall with Sharepoint?

I suspect this has nothing to do with network loads etc...this is an
internal sps issue...
I run a medium farm with 200+ gb data (why did I enable mysite!) and for the
whole it works fine.
I suspect your cpu usage is down to sps processes...can u identify in task
magaer which is taking all the cpu/mem resource?
I would look at the index/search/scopes/prifle import scheduling...make sure
all are set incrementally and maybe do your full schedule once a week at 2am.
Also look at your search scopes and see if you are indexing any huge content
that can be slimlined.

also it may be worth doing an iis reset on your web servers to see if it
calms down.
If you want to add more boxes to the farm then set them as index/search
servers to try and alleviate the load.

hope this helps
