Another thing you might try :While the server is under stress, run the "pstack" command a few times and save the output.
If you post the thread stacks here, someone familiar with the code can say with more accuracy what's going on. For example it will be obvious whether you have starved out the thread pool, or you have threads mostly waiting on page locks in the DB, etc.
