Me, too.

Once I informed Yiannis he did "something" at it seemed to work better - but now it's worse again.

Sometimes MySQL seems to hang and needs a restart (which is strange, but still).
However, what annoys me more is that the overall performance has gone down a lot too. Compared to "instantaneous", the time to deliver a page has been least 1-2 seconds for several months (sometimes up to 30 seconds).
My guess is that it's a thousand chinese spambots crawling the server all day long.

You can block these IPs.
But please don't blocks all the Chinese IPs, because that will block me too.  :(

We had done that on the old server two years ago, and it worked wonders. On the current one, only the Madraman has access... so that'll be his to do :)
