We upgraded ram on the forum server overnight, and updated to the latest versions of various apps. Which explains some downtime we had overnight.
Hopefully (but not necessarily) this will fix some of the load spikes we've been having. At times during the day, it seemed like the load would spike and slow the server down.
I'm not exactly sure of the specific cause of it, but the short answer is we're probably near our capacity on this server.
Just cause I know these questions will be asked: We're on 4 dedicated servers now: Main site, forums php, forums db, and attachments. Linux boxes. no, not xserves.
