CPU monster?

I have read testimonials of people using PHP Live Helper with a large
number of agents with ease. I have noticed that
php-cgi is spawning and maxing out my processor after a while. I am
using Windows 2000 server and IIS. Each instance initiates with a login
and/or a chat, and is using up to 10% of CPU for each. Is there a set up
problem or is there a PHP way to resolve this? I do not have this issue
with other PHP work on the server.

Well right off the bat, PHP running in CGI is a resource hog. Try running it in ISAPI, this should stop your processor from maxing out.

I am still seeing this issue, however not as bad. It seens a bit extreme to have CPU spikes with the support link on a single page and only two users logged in. It is staying at about 25%, but still odd. I would love to get feedback from other users using similar set ups (Windows 2000 server, 3 Ghz CPU, IIS 5, ISAPI and MySQL)
