Seeing ASA 5540 with High CPU Utilization

[rlortiz]

I have a remote site customer with a Cisco ASA 5540 running SSLVPN (Anyconnect)(8.03). It currently only serves about 450 SSLVPN clients. Since last friday, they've seen the CPU utilization go up to high 90% while only serving 400+ remote users. Please help us troubleshoot the root cause of the CPU high utilization on Cisco ASA 5540.
