Server load 996.05?!?!

I've been having trouble with the server I'm on lately, and today it peaked! Check out the attached image.

Page generated in 5.42644 seconds with 64 queries [Server Loads: 81.18 107.66 : 84.98]

Edit, see 2 posts below

64 queries... what script do you drive over vBulletin ?!... did you try deactivating the plugins ?!

OK, it's gotten worse! lol, I had no idea numbers could do this.
I wanted to wait to deactivate until they put me on a faster server. They have varified major problems with my server, so I'd like to get a better idea of where my site speed is at then.

64 QUERIES?

holy cowzers.

I have over 20 plugins and hacks, and I have 12 per page.

You need to find out what the heck is going on there.

Is this on a shared server? If so, you better watch out, they may disable your account.

ok, if i view my plug ins, is each check box a query of some sort depending on which page i'm viewing on my site?

[Reven]

No, each box is a bit of code which is executed at various strategic locations. These may or may not have queries. The only way to effectively reduce your query count is to disable mods, unless you know how to program PHP, in which case you could look into making these mods more efficient.

The best thing to do is to turn on debug mode with your forums closed then browse your various pages, looking for any red entries in the box at the bottom of the page (the one which appears when you turn on debug mode). These red entries are unnecessary queries, which can be fixed.

If your on shared hosting there isn't much you can do other then try figuring out why you have so many queries.

Even having that many quereys your server load shouldn't hit that well:

Here I freaked out when we accidentally installed the wrong version of eaccelerator and we got server loads of over 100. I'd have a full head of gray hair by the time it got up to 900!

I found out what was using 50 querys!!!!!!!!!! The mod "Self Censor Plus" version 1.0 which allows people to filter out their own swear words.
