I would first try to find the 'bottle-neck'. Do you have enough memory
and disk space?? Would increase any of these solve your problems?

If that wouldn't do it, consider getting another raq, where you can move
one or more of your sites to. Try to find out what processes is using
your processor the heaviest. Consider moving the site with all the CGI
apps over to the new raq. Alternatively, move all the MIVA enabled sites
over to the new box. What you move over would depend on the breakdown on
what uses your resources.
