Hey Dan,

Sounds like i do need to check some things then.

The load balancer does a health check every 30 seconds.
Going through the monitor logs, the cpu was peaking up to about 60% which im
not too sure if was caused by load or by the riak process doing whatever it
was doing.

And, I do seem to be running pretty high on memory so ill see if i can lower
that by configuring the buffer size on the innostore backend.

If i see it happening again, ill try and gather more information.
