My CPU Load goes very high when traffic is very high

I think its APACHE...how do you guys with high traffic sites deal with server slowdown?

Please share some methods/tips.

Thanks.

Increase your free users download speed. That always helps, too many users downloading at slow speeds = many users using CPU and RAM via httpd

I can't afford Nginx mod just yet also.

SO what is the solution for Apache2 users ?

The moment you can afford NGINX do it. Your site will go no where without it. Keep in mind that for every additional server you get... You have to pay to get it installed...

What's happening is that your site is hitting the MAX_CLIENT on APACHE... Raise that and it'll buy you just a little more time... Apache isn't the best at managing loads for these kinds of sites.

Had the same issue 2 days ago. CPU went to 100% with many index.cgi processes, couldn't believe it as I'm running main on a high-end server. At the end it was someone doing it on purpose.

I'm about to purchase nginx and I hope it will solve this issue. I'll report back here as soon as I'm running nginx.
