It could be a lot of things; just some random things to check
mysqladmin extended-status
might give you an idea of things going on, doublecheck the uptime
value, is it the same as the uptime of the machine? sometimes mysql
crashes and restarts itself. It could take minutes before the
databaseserver is back. This could be your problem.
You can also check processes within myqsl with
mysqladmin processlist
Further the unix: is it tuned? FreeBSD out of the box is good but it
can be tuned quite a bit, I've run sites on similar hardware with
1000+ users hitting the server more or less at the same time with a
mysql based web-application. The box was tuned quite a bit but could
handle the load without any problems.
Doublecheck your application and database design, sometimes adding an
index can increase performance 100x.
If you need more info let me know...
