High volume SSL/SSH traffic. Systems can be configured to fall back to insecure random number generator under load but it creates an attack vector where you intentionally DoS a system, then have more leverage to crack the encryption based on the weak(read predictable) random data the encryption is based on. The practicality of such an attack is beyond my knowledge.
