Answer 1

Other things to keep in mind are things that drive the processor utilization up, like access lists, and things that (may) unnecessarily use the bandwidth, like routing updates.
Depending on the topology / layout of your network, you may be better off using static routes.
Also check to see that only the features you are using are enabled on the router ... every additional process adds some load to the processor.
Other sources may be excessive broadcasts. Have you checked the hosts for worms and viruses?
Similar problem; Are any of your hosts allowed to use applications like BitTorrent or other streaming services? Many of those applications will bring up a server process and (server or not) eat a large chunk of the bandwidth.
Post some of your interface stats and a typical router config. Some description or diagrams of the network would also be helpful.
Good Luck
