    High Processes, Low Server load = problem

    Hi, the problem I am having: usually high # of process (eg 400+) with mostly sleeping (say 398), low server load (1+ which is considered low) but very long loading times for my websites. Can anyone offer any direction for solution? thanks.

    to add, I get a lot of these than usual in Cpanel Apache status:

    242-6 10333 0/21/280 R 0.29 3 2 0.0 0.29 0.99 ? ? ..reading..

    and status at that time:

    I hope the information is enough. Thanks.

    May be you limits is very hard. Try get more resources for apache.
    Incrase maxclieents.

    What version of apache you are using? If you are using older versions try upgrading them and make a try.

    No, protector,I think update not help. It is well know common issue in cpanel on standart system. Need tune a lot of specific limits to high perfomance.
    The bottle neck may be drive IO or netrok susystem. CPU not high load, so they may be IOWAT isue, bad firewall/network settings, etc.
    Need server audith.
