I rebuilt Apache with latest and:
-- Mod Security
-- Latest PHP 5.2.9
-- Open SSL

It is Centos 64bit Linux
Running DSO and SuExec

Then I installed Litespeed i386 Enterprise 4.0 with no malfunctions.

Load averages are off the charts and I'm running only two vBulletin boards with a around 30-60 max users presently.

Here's my.cnf
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
skip-locking
skip-innodb
skip-bdb
safe-show-database
max_connections = 500
key_buffer = 64M
myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M
join_buffer_size = 1M
read_buffer_size = 2M
sort_buffer_size = 2M
read_rnd_buffer_size = 2M
table_cache = 1024
record_buffer = 1M
thread_cache_size = 128
wait_timeout = 90
connect_timeout = 10
interactive_timeout = 10
tmp_table_size = 64M
max_heap_table_size = 64M
max_allowed_packet = 16M
max_connect_errors = 10
query_cache_limit = 1M
query_cache_size = 64M
query_cache_type = 1
thread_concurrency = 4
default-storage-engine = MyISAM

[mysqld_safe]
open_files_limit = 8192

[mysqldump]
quick
max_allowed_packet = 100M

[myisamchk]
key_buffer = 64M
sort_buffer = 64M
read_buffer = 16M
write_buffer = 16M

Here's what I adjusted in httpd.conf
HostnameLookups Off
ServerLimit 512
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 80
KeepAliveTimeout 3
MinSpareServers 15
MaxSpareServers 20
StartServers 15
MaxClients 512
MaxRequestsPerChild 0
AccessFileName .htaccess
UseCanonicalName On

Please check "top" output find out which process using too much CPU cycles.
More likely a problem with PHP.

Here is what I got, but unfortunately I don't know how to resolve the issue. I never experienced this on my other server, and I've set everything up identically.
