I am supporting an application built inhouse (the developer is no longer with the company).   Data is accessed through a web front end, from a 3rd party document storage application.  This is done via MSMQ.  I am seeing that when transacations are queued in MSMQ private queues, the CPU utilization jumps to 100%.  As soon as these transactions are processed, the CPU drops back down to an acceptable level.  Note, in case this is important, we are running Windows 2000 Server.  Any ideas?

MSMQ - causing 100% CPU Utilization

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

Microsoft Applications

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
