Symptoms

When too many concurrent inserts occur in the same hash bucket, or the ad hoc SQL Server plan cache reaches its entry limit of 160,036, severe contention on SOS_CACHESTORE spinlock occurs. In this situation, a high CPU usage occurs in Microsoft SQL Server.

Cause

The issue occurs when the SQL Server plan cache reaches its entry limit, and plans that have low cost must be evicted in order to insert new plans. This causes heavy contention for the SOS_CACHESTORE spinlock that provides synchronization for the hash table buckets of the SQL Server plan cache.
