I am running an instance of Wordpress on an Ubuntu 10.04 VMWare server. If I hold F5 or CMD+R on a page or post, both CPU's on the server will climb to 100%. There will be plenty of free RAM left, but the CPU's will stay at 100% until all the requests have been taken care of. Depending on how long I hold F5, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to process up to a few minutes.
I have disabled persistent connections in MySQL, set the MaxClients section of Apache via a recommended calculation, and disabled all unnecessary plugins within the Wordpress install, yet it still happens (albeit, not nearly as bad as before). Is there anything else I can modify to disallow this from happening?
Thank you!
