Error causing high CPU and Load

I am getting a crazy CPU / LOAD #'s compared to this time of day. 

My hosting company said the huge spike is from

livepara 13790 27.0 0.9 148112 22820 ? S 12:48 0:00 | _ /usr/bin/php /home/livepara/public_html/member_menu_queries.php
livepara 13772 11.8 0.0 0 0 ? Z 12:48 0:00 _ [php] <defunct>
livepara 13778 27.3 1.8 168548 43712 ? S 12:48 0:00

Does anyone know what this is or how to solve it?

member_menu_queries.php is not an error. Dolphin is quite the beast when it comes to resources. Depending on the layout of your site, there could be a lot of information that needs to be retrieved in order to be displayed on a page. Anytime a page loads that has blocks that displays this type of content (such as real time) it requires querying the database.

This is a great way for hosting companies to convince you to upgrade to a more expensive package in order to keep your account from getting suspended. All in all, it's just the way Dolphin is.

for the most part is was google and bing indexing at the same time and bots joining the site at a crazy pace....
