It just happened now again, the database server gets really busy doing *something* and ignores the web server for a short bit, then comes back again and the flood of queued up requests goes through and slows down the web server for a bit, then it all stabilizes.
There was a search right around the time as well as a query that I think tries to sort the posts by date, so maybe I will try turning off search for a few days to see if it makes any difference.
