Brendan I have the exact same problem as you and it just occurred this past
week. There have been no server updates applied to the server recently, in
fact nothing has changed for the most part. When I called Apple they told
me to check /Library/Logs/crashreporter and see if there was a crash log for
AFP, in my case there was and there's several instances in there of it
crashing. They told me to run checkdisk on the boot volume and then remove
the 10.3.9 update pkg from /Library/Receipts and re-install the 10.3.9
update. I did as they said and now am watching to see if it fixed. One
thing to note is at the time this started my server was also being probed on
SSH a lot and I had a log entry in system log saying something about fc:
file table full I thought the SSH vulnerability was 10.4 only >.< can anyone
shed some light here? Apple said this isn't a common issue, well now I say
it is :P

You should at the *very* least move your MS fonts to somewhere besides the
home folder. You may want to consider redirecting the entire ~/Library
folder. Your goal needs to be to minimize the number of client file
read/access requests. You should take a brief sample (5-10 seconds) of
fs_usage while the server is sluggish and see what is being read/written.
Upgrading to 10.4 wouldn't hurt either, AFS was updated a couple of times
between 10.3.9 and 10.4.4.
