Hi,

I have a server and it is having some strange problem. In the day time the load keeps an average of 7 to 8, and it even goes upto 12 and so. When I do top -c, it sometimes shows mysql to be using around 90% cpu. Then it is mostly a lot of apache processes in TIME WAIT state.

This has become a problem as apache crashes often because of this. Please help. Thanks in advance.
