Look at your server logs and see when the resource usage is high. it is often a cause of a database back up or some other major cron task that causes these issues.

Also, there are a number of settings you can change to lower resource usage..

Turn off the thread check for subscriptions, who read a thread.. make sure you keep add no cache headers off, Turn off whos online, spider identification...make sure you have the whos online feature set to random and not alphabetical. Basically just go through all of your setttings and see where you can reduce. Similiar threads is also a big hit.

Make sure people have to wait maybe 30 seconds between searches or posts..

There are many things you can do. Go through your mods as well to see if you can save any recourse.

Lazy load may make your pages load faster but it is not going to lessen the server load much if anything at all.

1 gig of ram isn't much really these days but your site should run at least under normal usage. My server has 16 gigs and I still get slow downs occasionally when under heavy load like someone doing amass mail while a full server back up is running.

Hope this helps
