hmm, sounds lilke a different issue - our servers never hang, and the
dB CPU is avg 22%, min 0% max 56%. And there are never any deadlocks -
sorted them out months ago, and we don't get any dB errors logged in
CF. We had a few probelms with one particular query taking longer than
it should a few months ago, but that was sorted by manually updating
SQL server's statistics.

we've got 2 CPUs.

but most of the time we don't need to do *anything*: JRun just
restarts. If we look in the event viewer it says:
Warning: The Macromedia JRun CFusion Server service for the "cfusion"
server is restarting.
then about 5 seconds later: 
Informaton: The Macromedia JRun CFusion Server service for the
"cfusion" server was started.  PID is 5404.

Note, theres no mention of JRun stopping....
