ES40 can't work

Managers,

Our ES40 mail server is going ballistic, the load averages
goes into the 300-400 range and nothing gets accomplished!
It takes over an hour to do "ls -l" in a directory!
We can't figure it out. Rather than sending a long message
to this list, I have set up a Web page which describes the
problem in detail. It is at:

        http://socrates.berkeley.edu:7309/perf_problem/

We are desperate; please let me know if you have had any similar
experience; have any idea what the problem is, or any recommendation
on how to approach it.

Thanks.
