Vbulletin is VERY VERY DB intensive, and with a board as active as GFY, this thing is getting killed. The source of the problems seem to be mostly related to connecting to the DBs to get the pages loaded. You could have 100 quad cores all lined up, but if they can't get to the database, they can't run.
