Getting lots of gateway timeouts on forums

[aubergine]

Is anyone else having problems with forums? They seem to be really slow these past few days and increasingly I'm getting timeout errors...

[NoQ]

Not getting timeouts here, but forums are clearly slow (and wz2100.net frontpage too); people seem to double-post a lot (when POST request accepted, but reply isn't received), which is some indication.

I've noticed a slow down on the forum.

Could it be something to do with this...

Sorry, we are suffering from a extremely high CPU usage.
It is being looked into.

[Originway]

this has started since a few days ago again and it seems random

[Emdek]

Originway, exactly, when it starts then it keeps working that way for hours and then poof, works fine again.
Is there some cron job to restart specified services at given time or someone is doing that manually?
