I’m seeing a CPU usage of 25%, RAM usage of 50%, and a system load of 26.97… For reference, the rule of thumb says a system load of 1.0 should be max.
@jdowdle: Are you seeing anything in your logs? Check: <code>/var/log/syslog</code> for general issues with your system and <code>/var/log/apache2/error.log</code> for something specific to your webserver.
