Make sure you have something setup to block wp-login.php bruteforce attacks, those can really cause cpu load to skyrocket. I run a lot of of Wordpress blogs on LEMP Stacks and have it set to only allow my IP through to wp-login.php and then I have Fail2Ban block any user who attempted to try to bruteforce (along with banning anyone who searches for Wordpress exploits). You could also install the popular Wordpress plugin "Limit Login Attempts" which will help against bruteforce attacks as well but I prefer the only allowing my ip method.
