i'm pretty much out of ideas about what the problem may be. i've never seen numbers like that ever; not even running in development with webrick. perhaps there is a problem with the slice itself. you could always try taking a snapshot of your setup and boot a new slice using that snapshot and compare performance on the new slice. > and 10 minutes later the load avg is back up to 7 and the site is > unresponsive.

Desperate for a fix!!! this sounds like you're using the passenger default which is to run up to six application servers. here is an except from an nginx configuration file that i use on a 32bit 256mb slicehost server that is dedicated to running a single site <http://gist.github.com/454173>. that server has been running for over a month now with no runaway resource usage. > The mysql database was loaded using taps to copy from my desktop > development environment to the slicehost server.
