Hi,
A processor bottleneck occurs when a very high percentage of the CPU is
being utilized fairly often. You can expect CPU use to spike—that's a
normal, quick response to an event. But if a CPU consistently runs at
approximately 90 percent or above, that indicates a processor problem. In
this case, there are a number of actions you can take:
• Upgrading the CPU is usually a good idea.
• Additional CPUs can help.
• Move some of the processors off that machine onto another one, or
implement network load balancing policies. (See the "Network Load
Balancing" module for more information.) By spreading content across a
number of servers, you are in effect spreading out the impact of the hits
to all those servers.
Note: As you add more processors and more RAM, don't forget about your
level 2 cache. The L2 cache should grow as the amount of RAM increases, or
you may not realize the performance gains you expect.
For more information look at

Also look for memory management, Disk optimization, etc.
