Perhaps you are exhausting the number of worker threads in the queue available to mongrel (default 900ish I think). If your cached files are very big, maybe they aren't being served quickly enough by the DirHandler and your queue becomes clogged.
Should mongrel definitely send 503 after this state, or not? I think there was some debate recently about the same issue and the resolution was inconclusive. Does Litespeed support x-sendfile? Maybe the DirHandler should be updated to take advantage of that.
