    Mine does that off and on during the day when HTML traffic picks up. I ha a variable speed cooling fan and I can tell when traffic picks up because runs faster. LOL Especially when people are reading message boards like fidonet on my BBS. WOW it tops out at 80% sometimes. I am running my BBS a 15 year old laptop though.

    I have restrictions on the amount of traffic via iptables so it shouldn't be problem. I guess I'll have to double check to make sure they're actually effective.

    I have guests log in via nntp and download messages from all the message bases once a week and that can be hours of traffic just doing that. I guess some people love messages. They cannot reply to them but they download all of them twice a week. My Computer will just ramp up like that out of the blue several times a day likes it is real busy even when no one is signed in. Ghost users! LOL

    I don't have any problem with services, it's just the web server.
