switch to a 1000MHz-enabled 64 Bit kernel....

tests on same server:
load on a 32 bit kernel were at 3.2
load on 64 bit kernel dropped to 0.9
load on 1000MHz-enabled 64 bit kernel dropped to 0.05

all software (apache/php/mysql etc stayed identical)

I shit you not.


---edit
I don't remember the kernel for 32 bit, but probably 2.6.11. The 64 bit kernels are 2.6.34.6 x86_64 (with HZ_1000 for the current version).
