To much to handle

Wow, I really don't know what hit me (yet) but I was fiddling with my server today and suddenly realized that it was under enormous pressure.

By the time I managed to get a screen shot it was all over, and things has returned to normal. Only left my swap partition almost full.

You can see that the load average the last five minutes is above 7, and that's seriously high.

Well, I had to restart both Apache and mySQL, so I hope I didn't mess up your surfing.
