not sure why the lag, but server memory usage reached over 90% last night.
Had system admin person check it today, and he said, yes, this is bad.
Restarted Apache and memory usage is down to normal now. We have a memory leak somewhere, but not sure where or why.
I remember Iiridayn saying something about restarting Apache once a week, or something like that, to keep server running smoothly. Well, it has been 47 days since Apache was restarted, which appears to be too long to go without a restart of this important enabling applications software.
In theory, such a restart should be unnecessary, but there is something in the code which is not releasing memory when it should be doing so.
