How are you even getting the server to respond with a load that high?

As Bhuwan has previously mentioned - disable some things that aren't really needed. I shut off printthread, searches, and member rewriting as honestly, does any of that really help your content when indexing in a search engine? You're after pertinent pages being listed that will draw people that may stick around - search engines cannot use the search function, I have member.php disallowed in my robots.txt, and printthread is also disallowed.

Get the meat and potatoes listed, skip the tripe - should help you in the long run - once you have that covered add in the fluff if you really want it.

I just grabbed my server load here, and this is what I'm showing:
Server Load Averages 0.69 0.51 0.52 | 144 Users Online
