Hello,

It is probably due to one of your website getting a huge amount of visits, or maybe some user's scripts, or also other things such as spam/DDoS, etc.

I can take a look to your box by SSH and check for the reason of this load and fix it for a little expense ~30€.

Regards.
 
You're using 2 gigabytes of swap memory. When swap memory is in use every time a process runs that needs the memory it must move whole sections of memory between the actual physical memory and the hard drives. That takes time.

In the short run, stop httpd, mysqld and exim. Then restart both of them. For example (for CentOS and RedHat Enterprise):
Code:
# service httpd stop
service mysqld stop
service exim stop
killall exim
service httpd restart
service mysqld restart
service exim restart
Always use restart instead of start.

This should restore a lot memory, as much as you safely can.

Otherwise you can restart the entire server as a last resort.

But in the long run it's simple; you're requesting mroe resources than you've got. Get more memory.
