Website "freezes" for 20-30 seconds - php-cgi mem high?
Users are reporting occasional random "freezes" of up to 20-30 seconds. I think that memory usage is high
mlines@bigjimny:/var/log$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 988 977 11 0 4 505
-/+ buffers/cache: 468 520
Swap: 255 112 143
Longview reports php-cgi as being the largest user (by an order of magnitude)
php-cgi mlines 10 209 KB/s 95% 401 MB
Not being familiar with these systems is this where I should start looking and what should I be looking for?

You're using less than half your memory.
