[cobalt-users] httpd taking up most resources ?

["Mahesh Chandra Patil" <mahesh_patil_99@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This is regarding the Raq4,  off late this raq's load is moving 
above 4, and if at that time.. any cronjob like logrotate or 
webalizer starts.. it is reaching  6+  load.

I dont know why  but earlier  most of the httpd process used to be 
much below 1% or 2% of CPU  usage.  But now.. most of the httpd 
processess are 3% and above. And when any httpd process calls 
cgi.. then that process goes upto even 30% to 50 % of cpu usage.

But I am wondering.. as to why the normal httpd processess are 
taking up more  than 2% of cpu usage.

Kindly guide me..:

*) is it related to size of logs  in  
/home/sites/sitename/logs/web.log ?

Recently we have added  "ads" to the html pages in 10+ sites.  
Does this heavy load of  httpd in any way related to those ads..

But the ads are comming from different site..

help..

thanks
mahesh.
