Things are getting worse for my new server now, CPU load is climbing to and sitting above 5.0.

I cant believe no one else is having load issues with WordPress 2.0

it was ALL MySQL processes, at first I was baffled, Top results didn’t show me anything other than a HUGE list of MySQLD processes, here is a copy of Top that I posted on another forum thinking that my message board was behind it…

Cut for Brevity

So I started digging into MySQL processed and noticed that the running MyDQL processes were ALL from my WordPress accounts. At first, it looked like they were all from the WP-Referral plugin, which I removed from the sites.

Still the load continued to spike like crazy.

Since my forum is my main focus and seeing how wordpress was causing it to come a stand still, so I moved my account via WHM to another server and it’s dropped the CPU load drastically.

Here’s a snippet of top below

UPDATE

It wasn’t vBulletin after all, turns out my Blogging site was sucking up all the resources, I’ve moved it to a different server I own and both servers are performing flawlessly (dunno why). 6 hours at it and it’s fixed.

Here is a snippet of Top now
