Merge Agent takes all the CPU time

The merge Agent takes all the CPU resources and makes no space for other
aplications. When I stope the Server Agent the Server becomes available to
other applications. I start the merge agent again and every thing works fine
.
How can I handle this so I wont have to stop the merge agent each time the
usrs start complaining?
Thanks a lot,
LinaHow often is your merge agent running..? Hourly ..?
Ideally you want to run the merge agent frequently, that way it has a small
amount of data to process and will have less impact on resources

it's related to the size of the metadata tables "MSmerge_contents,
