I'm pretty sure in his case it's just the mixture of a less powerful cpu, and a lot of mysql. The server load will get bottlenecked and you have all those processes waiting and adding to the load quickly after that.

It's not a great script. It's a pig. I watched it bring a well-built and configured server to its knees with less than 250K banner impressions a day. I replaced it with Adcycle (using the daemon) and haven't had a problem since. This isn't the first time I have seen problems with phpadsnew either. The other incident, phpadsnew was replaced with oasis and the problem ended there.

A nice admin does not make a good script. I will admit if a nice admin DID make a good script, this would be one of the best.
