Yikes...5 of them with 15,000 users. Your best bet would be to up the memory to 128 (or even 192 if problems persist). As Justin pointed out, a faster CPU does not mean better load times.

There's 5 of them right now, with about 15 000 users.

I was so astonished by the load averages and the CPU states that I just completely missed the RAM stats

Improving the RAM is probably your best bet... How many UBBs are you running on that machine (just for curiosity sake)?

Chad, ever heard of the UBB? I'm running a few of them on this little server..

Justin, I'm glad your noticed the 64 Mb RAM. I should in fact have 128 MB on it. I'll be on my way to scream at the tech guys now.

From the looks of it it looks like the machine you're talking about only has 64MB of ram. Try getting some more... The processor doesn't really have to do with the load time.

Someone has one heck of a script!!! Looks like you need to contact whomever manages this server and have them find the individual causing the problems because a server should not have that large of a load under any circumstances (looking at the 15 minute average).

A faster (or another) CPU would be the best for getting this to a reasonable number, but even than, it is much higher than it should be.
