asp code making server go wild

[Dave]

Hi,

on our production server we have about 12 websites. these website are not
accessed by a lot of people, all they are really used for is displaying
client websites before actually placing them on live servers on ISP's, there
are 1-2 internal websites that get a lot of internal traffic daily from
about 50 employees.
however it has come to our attention that the "cpu usage" in task manager
regularly spikes to as much as 80-100%.
the network engineers point out to us that this is probabally caused by the
asp sites consuming too much CPU.
I have heard that the use of session variables id CPU intensive but at most
each site would only make use of a 2-3 session variables at most.
I thought another cause might be holding database connections open too long.
SQL server is on a seperate box.
Certainly the ISP's where these sites are hosted have never complained to
us.
has anybody encountered high CPU usage on their production web servers and
can offer any advice, or point me an articles on this particular issue.

one of our network enginneers found a client's webserver, who host their own
website that has possibly only 1000 hits a day, consuming approximatly
80-90% of CPU constantly, leaving them assuming that ASP is crap and not
scalable.

how can I prove them wrong. VB script is used on all our asp sites.

cheers

martin.
