This weekend at various times my server was brought down.  I saw one
process using over 99% of the CPU.  No pages could be served while this
was going on.  I found the culprit.  It was a Wordpress site and the
script was wp-cron.php.  I stopped it by adding a line to wp-config.php
as http://geektnt.com/how-to-solve-wp-cron-php-high-cpu-usage.html and
other sites suggested.

However, I am still confused how this one process was able to block all
other pages.  I have MaxClients set to 100 and 15 other cores that they
can be run on.  Why didn't my server continue to serve requests?

Thanks for any insight.
