The top output shows httpd on top, and sometimes postmaster, but I don't know how to repeatedly capture it. Any suggestions?

Try this:

top -bc | tee topdata

That will save everything to a file called topdata while also letting you watch it scroll by. Not as easy to catch the bad periods that way, the output is going to be a huge data file, but you'll have a log to sort through of everything. Control-C to get out of there when you're bored.
