Unfortunately, I'm on a virtual server - shared host.

::Rant mode on::

I called this morning (9 am EST) and reported a slow site - cgi-bin stuff was crawling. Top showed 0.0% idle. There are several TAR processes running sucking up all the CPU. They said they were running backups.

I checked again at about 9:00 PM, and sure enough, still slow. The same TAR processes are still running. I called back and expressed my disbelief that a tar backup would cause this. They then said they were moving some sites off the server and this might be why.. might.. the tech did say he'd check into it, and seemed concerned.

It's 1:22 AM and the same TAR processes are still running, and the site response absolutely sucks.

I'm no unix admin, but at least I know about Nice. Sheesh.. talk about a wasted day. Wanted to set up two more sites and can't even modify a template in Autogallery SQL.

Anyway....

Thanks for the responses!
