High server load a problem

I had a site with over 100,000 hits per day, stable traffic from hard links and SE, than one day it dropped to 50,000 hits per day and never recovered. Now after 2 months im still at the 50k hits.

Under these 2 months I noticed that my server often has a high server load, for a couple of hours each time.
"Server Load 8.51 (2 cpus)"
And during that time my site seams to be much slower.

So im not sure what to do, can high server load slow up a website?
What can I do? Can also someone please tell me more about high server load issue?



Thanks!
