Here's my server this morning.. Nothing's changed for quite some time, running the latest 3.x. It's a dedicated server that I underutilize (dual core, plenty of memory) - I had about 200 online when this hit me.
Every so often, my usage will spike WAY up, and this morning it's so high that I can't even execute a simple folder listing in a shell.
The last communication I got from the box was that the MySQL service was off the chart. Where do I begin troubleshooting something like this? It's intermittent, and usually only happens early in the AM. I don't have many plugins running, no custom stuff, and as I said - my actual utilization is much lower than my server is prepared for.
