Run apachetop / mysqltuner / tuning-primer to see what your DB and Apache are doing all the time.
Additionally some profiling tool might help to figure out what SQL Queries might slow down everything.

And for sure the logfiles

With apachetop you can monitor which URL's are accessed how many times and what the Apache processes are doing.

Or the favorite search engine of your choice might help too. Additionally you can enable mod_status - just temporary - to know a bit better what is taking so long e.g. running a PHP script.
With tuning-primer / mysqltuner you can change the values of your DB to match your needs like tuning Caches as example.
Finally - with OS tools like lsof you can watch opened files abd what processes are doing all the time.
