Matthew, Without any more information, I would put money on this being either a database design issue or a query design issue. I really expect that database optimization would buy you a lot of performance.
But without knowing what kind of database structure you have, what kind of queries you run, what kind of optimization you have done, what you consider to be a LOT of traffic, what kind of server settings you are using and what kind of hardware you run on -- I really can't say much more than that.

But for some reason, mySQL is making MAJOR load on my server. I have tried it on several servers, and they all end up with load averages like 10+! We have optimized our code as much as possible and STILL are getting super high loads! Is there ANYWAY to optimize mySQL so it doesn't run soooo much load??
