Maybe mike will have some performance tips.
Or it may just be your host throttles.
I can hear mike breathing in going "there's hosting, then there's hosting"
What plugins are you using?
Uniquifier and redirect seem to be intensive.
Are you a tweetbomb guy - that is intensive.
Any language translation or translation spinning? (that is intensive)
Do you use a database to content plug-ins? I forget the names now.
Do you have lots of things which notify other things?
ie WTG although I've not found that to e resource hungry myself yet, but I don't have many posts.
Are you using a cache plugin? (that should reduce strain)
Not on database I hope (apparently 100 times load time, according to someone here)
do you have a lot of external based content like images?
how often do you suck content in?
from how many sources?
I'm just to see why you are spiking so much....
Presumably they told you which blog it was, so you can see from your traffic stats, if you are being botted,, or have lots of 404.
Also look in your ftp for error.log and make sure nothing has gone hay wire.
