Start with the normal OS tools to find out what component is taking so much CPU power. CF/database/webserver/Nimda etc. :) Then go from there. If it is the database, check indexes etc. If it is CF, turn on the logging of long running requests to find out if any templates take an abnormal time. Benchmark queries to see if the query times change drastically (sign the database is not having fun). Take a look into caching. Etc. etc. etc. If after quickly going through all this there is nothing obvious, take a leap back and look at the application as a whole. Is the general design sound or not?
