They always say optimize the code, that's not much of our problems, unless you're running some resource intensive plugins which you can cut off.
As I said, many hosts do provide shared extra cores or CPUs to VPS which helps stabilizing the load, so you can ask them.

So then are you saying that my server needs are normal for my traffic and that I can't fix this by optimizations?
2012-11-07, 04:38 PM
No. It certainly is not normal. As I said before, you definitely should NOT need a dedicated server with these kind of stats. Have you tried disabling some of the more intensive options within the software such as the breadcrumb multipage and the users viewing this thread features?

Shouldn't I find the cause of the high server load (if it is unnormal for my conditions) and fix it instead of trying to lower CPU usage in other ways?

Yes I've disabled both those options. and I only have two plugins which I've both disable with no effects.
If this isn't normal what can be causing it?

Well, yes. Have you tried looking at the output of top? If you can't understand it, feel free to post it below.

I'm moving to a dedicated soon so hardware wise I shouldn't have to worry.
I just want to fix what's causing the high CPU usage incase it overcomes even the dedicated...

Yeah, as I suspected apache seems to be causing the issue. I really do advise taking nginx for a whirl.
2012-11-07, 04:50 PM
ok so how do i do that exactly?
keep in mind I'm on a vps

Obviously you want to try it out in a local environment first. Do you have VirtualBox or anything similar installed? If not, I highly recommend setting up a VM with the same setup as your VPS. It comes in useful in circumstances like this where you wish to test new software.
