to my knowledge other sites shouldn't affect my site.

if u suggest i find another host please give suggestions. i have been thinking about it for a while now. but thought it was something on my end. but after lately i am not so sure.

funny. I had the exact same problem and am using the same hosting..same plan...same memory config. I wish I could tell you what I did to correct it, but I can't as it just started functioning normally out of the blue. The only changes I made on my end were killing unnecessary tasks and removing a few hacks/mods. The thing is.... I was still seeing high server loads periodically even after those changes. I'll dig through my e-mails with KN and see if anything jumps out at me.

eta: Have you checked what processes are running during these high loads? (top and ps auwwwwfx command)

eta2: Oh and one more thing.... have you done this: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70117?
