Those other trade hubs are literally populated by peasants. All the action is in Jita. Go there and get with the program.

Spammers in Jita local don't contribute to the load that much since chat is on its own nodes. The load in Jita primarily stems from the traffic to and from the system, i.e., the transport, pilots jumping in and out of the system and docking/undocking. A fair amount of processing goes into delivering the market transactions (but the market itself is on another node). Then there is always some pew-pew to process.

Jita is by far the largest market hub in EVE but we cap it at 2175 pilots. Jita has a dedicated node to itself, one of the fleet fight nodes. Next are Amarr, Dodixie, and Rens. We don't cap them but dedicate Amarr on regular hardware.

Top stations are:

Jita IV - Moon 4 - Caldari Navy Assembly Plant
Amarr VIII (Oris) - Emperor Family Academy
Dodixie IX - Moon 20 - Federation Navy Assembly Plant
Rens VI - Moon 8 - Brutor Tribe Treasury

Is there a chance that perhaps a queue system could be introduced to make access into Jita more predictable instead of "Who spams jump the most"?

I logged out in JIta and now can't seem to log back in. Do i just need to weather the storm or should i file a petition?

Because remote asset management is weak at best and remote trading is only any good for adjusting prices while stuck in New Caldari. If CCP adds the ability to remote-work with proper UI on another station's assets then that might be different.

Yes, especially Hek. Not only peasants, but rude peasants.

Lets have a contest! Whats your record number of tries before either logging into Jita or jumping in?
Mine: 58 tries to log in before success.

If you start blocking spammers in Jita, you quickly diminish them to near nothing with just a handful of blocks...like 15.

Also, CCP are using the servers to mine bitcoins.

Brilliant idea here. Get your freighter in during low peak times in Jita. Buy your stuff and log out. Log back in during peak time and get your free move to another system.

How much would it cost to double the population cap?

Record high or record low?

It is the same bottleneck.

The traffic at jita gates while substantial does not cause so many session changes in the same server tick as we see when 800 ships cyno into a system (based solely on my observations). Therefore I must conclude that the dock/ undock party at Jita 4-4 is so detrimental to performance?

All this I say thinking that surely market transactions are not bound to the same issues of "single cpu" bottloneck per system since the market gives impression of being processed at region level.

Typical IZ post - "give it, CCP, I wants it, my preciousssss!", rather than "I already have the tools to deal with this so why don't I get on with it and stop complaining?".

The solution in this situation is obvious, get people out of Jita and using surrounding systems as well. Not put a queue on the gate.

Creating a trading district out of surrounding systems is an obvious solution, a small fee and small wait both remove the reason for a queue, create an isk sink and instead of waiting at a gate clicking jump you wait in station.

Nope it's typical CCP inability to address an issue properly. They always address issues not by solving the problem but by implementing a bandaid.

The problem is there are too many people jumping, docking, undocking while surrounding systems remain untaxed. The solution in this situation is obvious, get people out of Jita and using surrounding systems as well. Not put a queue on the gate.

So in other words, the spammers don't cause that much server load, but they do are the reason legit players can't actually get in. You need to address that. Jita has always been bad, but it's so out of proportion at the moment. Half of those spammers are probably bots anyway.
