By default, performance settings for IIS application pools are the following:
  • The maximum number of worker processes - 1
  • Maximum CPU usage (%) - Unlimited
Check that the server has sufficient CPU resources. Limit maxInstances parameter in
Domains > example.com > PHP Settings and set maxInstances to 1.
