A production server has an application running 24x7, and sometimes it starts consuming near 50% of CPU. I couldn't reproduce it locally, but I did a Memory Dump with adplus. The server has Windows 2008 Server 64bits, .NET 3.5. The application listens to a MSMQ and has a thread pool to execute operations, when I did the memory dump it was supposed to be running nothing, but it was still consuming CPU.
Below is the Dump. Do you know what can be happening?? It's weird that the slow thread also says GC Disabled! What's that?
It's weird I've an ASP.NET app in the same server and sometimes happens the same thing.
