English term or phrase: tax the box
Dans la phrase

You’ve got a production server being pounded on relentlessly by users all day long and now you want to turn on auditing to capture crucial metadata, but you’re worried about *taxing the box* and running out of disk space storing all the audit data.

Je crois comprendre qu'il s'agit de faire chuter les performances du système et je suis à la recherche d'une formulation appropriée. Merci pour votre confirmation et vos suggestions.

C'est bien compris que c'est la bécane qui risque d'être en surchauffe, mais l'expression me semble convenir.
