Well it's not the searches. I've put the original file back in place from the original zip source and I've rebooted the Server.

Every time PHP launches (nothing to do with searching) just pulling up a link or anything it takes about 1/3 of the CPU and about 10MB of RAM. So basically once 3 people are on or if you do something to cause 3 separate instances of PHP you've maxed the server out.

The system has been running fine now for a few days, only real change was that search file, but now it's back to oem.

Doing some other dianostics on the system now, but something is causing the board to hang now. Just clicking to the main forum site hangs it.
