Perhaps you can ps aux when you think it's slow, and then paste the results? I mean everything seems like it's working fine as of your pasted results of top.

Are you supposed to have that many httpd processes running? That may be the source of your problems.

Looks like too many httpd proc's. Though they are sleeping, I am not sure there is supposed to be that many.

May I know the Server RAM size? My advise would be to keep the MaxClients limit in your Apache configuration as 400 per 1 GB RAM. Increasing MaxClients may increase the Apache response time. In case you have 2 GB RAM, you can increase MaxClients value upto 800. Make sure the Max_connections value in mysql configuration also be around 800. You need to keep Apache Hard Server Limit before performing such actions.

I solved the problem that was a big doss attack [root@server4 ~]# wc -l /proc/net/ip_conntrack 2261 /proc/net/ip_conntrack [root@server4 ~]# That ip conntrack was hitting the max limit it was about 48000 so i activated BFD and numbers dropped and server responding fine last 2 days… Server has 8gb ram and cpu dual Intel Xeon CPU quad core E5430 @ 2.66GHz And apache configuration is And mysql top Im using this server for my 2 personel vb forum which has 40000 unique visitors everyday but the number is increasing to 70000 sometimes do you think my apache and mysql configurations could be better if so could you give me a clue thanks
