[FX.php List] Cyclical WebPublishingEngine CPU spikes

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Hi Folks,

I'm struggling with a new Windows Server 2008 installation of (two) 
two machine deployment of FMS 11.

The WPE is quitting under load.

  I am concerned about what I see in Task Manager: a regular pattern 
of 30 second long CPU "spikes" occurring every 60 seconds, taking 50% 
of the CPU.  This is with no real traffic on the server.

Here is screen shot:

You can see the cycles. You can also see just a few spikes which 
represent a test query being run on the server. It seems to START at 
the 50% CPU level when it coincides with one of the 30 second spikes.

My experience is in OS X Server. I have never seen this before. 
Although, we have another new identical FMS 11 server which 
demonstrates the same pattern.

I understand from a little research that it is FMadminserver.exe that 
might be responsible, and logging might be the reason.

I can't believe that an admin function takes half the CPU.

Any comments?

Jonathan
