I'm no fs_usage expert, so I have no idea on how to profile IO with
it. I do know/see very high CPU usage when running PHP. The httpd
process takes up to 70% of CPU capacity. This 'peak' can take about 4
to 8 seconds for example.
So I'm tempted to rule out DNS issues. Also because static (html)
files and simple php files (without includes) are very fast.
Any tips on fs_usage etc. are still welcome though.
