Hi, This could be the JVM doing constant GCing because there is not much room in the heap for new objects (jstat will help you check this). It could also be that you have a deadlock - I just saw a similar case with one of our customers' Solr - out of N CPU cores, one was at 100% and jstack showed a deadlock (in HttpClient used by SolrJ).
