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

webserver engine does not consume much off cpu, maybe your sql database, try to find out what the daemon to consume a lot of cpu

I can't afford Nginx mod just yet also.

SO what is the solution for Apache2 users ?

[dotceo]

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.

what is your server configuration & your daily traffic ? ...

Because i havent seen 100% of my CPU being used all the time but the RAM is small for me
