[asmecher]

Hi @guitman444,

OJS itself is not very CPU-intensive – it’s typically database limited. Heavy CPU load is probably a result of simultaneous requests rather than any particular request requiring a lot of CPU effort. Besides identifying any unusual sources of traffic by reviewing the access log, there are some suggestions here:

What are the potential consequences of continuing high server usage, and what steps can we take to mitigate these risks?

We need to understand the potential consequences of continuing this trend and identify mitigation strategies. We are not currently experiencing a complete outage, but the system is sluggish and we are concerned about future problems.
