High load is not indicative of the CPU working hard. High load, in this case, is due to the CPU not getting answers back fast enough, and processes queueing up (eventually shutting down apache). It will consume all available threads (connections), then start killing the box. -What external dependencies are there (if any)? - Databases? - External Calls? -Do you have high timeouts on anything? -Is it just very inefficient code? At this point (in my experience), if you do not see a clear indication of the issue in the apache logs, it's not apache. Peter J.
