It is accomonpanied by fairly intensive CPU activity.

Anyone have any idea why, and what we can do to stop this?

Step 1. Buy more RAM
Step 2. Add item to budget: Buy more RAM next year.
Step 3. Repeat step 2 forever.

The warning you are getting is not a problem. The server keep a cache of recently used SPs and you are now trying to run another but there is no space for it so ... cleanup time.

Ignore the message ... or get more RAM. Even with more RAM you may still get it, but less often.
