Holding F5 causes 100% CPU load (Apache)

    I am running WordPress 3.8.3 on an Ubuntu 10 server with Apache/PHP/MySQL through a VMWare VM. It has 3.5GB RAM allocated and two 2.5GHz Intel Dual Core processors.

    If I open an SSH terminal on my server and run HTOP, I can watch both CPU’s climb to 100% utilization if I hold down the refresh button (F5 or Cmd+R). Both processors will climb to 100% and stay there for 5-20 seconds, then fall back down to normal levels. During this time, anyone else trying to access the WordPress site isn’t able to do so.

    I have disabled all plugins that aren’t necessary and tried tuning Apache as best I am able, but this still remains a problem.

    Are any Apache guru’s out there willing to help? I have been trying to solve this for three weeks, with very little progress.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the recommendation, but I asked there without a single reply in 3 days ??

    This is a server issue; you’re still better asking there.

    Why are you concerned about what happens when you hold down F5, anyway? Of course it’s going to load the server.

    This is for a businesses Intranet page that has between 30-70 users on it at any given time. Staff access their schedules, handbooks and all other staff resources here. From what I have read on ServerFault, the Ubuntu forums, and various other forums, holding f5 should increase the load, but should not max it to 100%.

    That’s very subtle issue with Ubuntu or VMWare. These are not server admin forums. Your question has nothing to do with WordPress.
