Trouble with VPS

I'm hopeful that one of you can lead me in the right direction! (Note: I did submit a support ticket to my host, but ...)
---
My site seems to be going down more and more--especially since the upgrade, and I don't know why that is.
(FYI--it's up now--but running very sluggishly)
IF there is something that would slow down a site that I currently have turned on, I will turn it off. I mainly (right now) just want a site that my community can rely upon 99.9% of the time.
I *think* the only really resource draining option I have turned on is "Who's Online." I can certainly turn this off, but, well, I like to be able to have some bells & whistles!
I don't have the Shout Box enabled.
I haven't been able to figure out the gallery, so that isn't taking up any resources.
---
I went into the Plesk--but I keep getting a certificate error. When I got in the back-door, I couldn't even access the server.
I saw that things were in the Red after being in the Yellow (with Red being very severe).
---
Anyway, I was hopeful that someone could either give me a 101 lesson, or point me to a site with more information, or let me know if there are some resource draining bells & whistles that I might have on but don't realize it.
I like 7.3, but I also like my site up and running!
Thank you for any & all feedback.

Doesn't anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I'm seriously concerned that if I cannot figure out what is taxing my board so much, I'll have no choice but to find a different board to use. I don't want to do that. I really, truly do not. I've been with this software/company for more than 7 years now, and I really want to continue using the board, but if it - either slows down my site, and/or
- doesn't even allow me access to my site ...
... I fear I'll have no choice but to find a different board to use. I really, truly do not want to do this, but I also am not able/capable to figure out/fix this on my own. Is there anyone else out there experiencing this? Sue adwoff.com

The access log that they posted shows an odd URL, however if your support would have actually tried to go to that URL, they'd see that it actually just gives the standard UBB error message as all of the fields are sanitized. So, that's not the issue. It looks like just some sort of odd URL that is being accessed because of a search.
I see you have a VPS. The biggest question is has MySQL been properly tuned, or are you just running the stock MySQL config?
An example of why a properly tuned MySQL is so important. I just worked on a site a couple weeks back that has well over 2 million posts. They were running a stock MySQL config, and were getting load times anywhere from 1 second to 15 seconds. Searches taking 30-60 seconds.
After proper tuning, everything is in the subsecond range with searches taking 1-5 seconds.
You don't have a huge forum and generally when viewing your site right now, everything is very quick. Typical debug line I'm getting is:
Generated in 0.156 seconds in which 0.040 seconds were spent on a total of 22 queries
Looks like you have about 50 users online right now. So, under normal conditions such as these, everything appears to be running fine and fast. When you get slowdowns, it would be useful to see the debug line to see if it's coming from MySQL or from just general server slowdown.
Another thing is if you have SSH access to the server and if it's a Linux box then when you get the slowdowns you can run the 'top' command to get some info on what all is going on at that particular time.
