If cpanel is eating that much then it is possible.

Have you asked your host for more information?

It seems to be the inbuilt stats for SMF, when they run everything grinds to a halt.

Which "inbuilt stats for SMF" are they?

[nax]

I may be mistaken Ben but there is a tick box in the Admin, Features and Options, Track daily statistics.  I think we had other stats programs running at one time webtrends I think but we had to stop that as it too locked up the service.

AFAIK those aren't compiled at any certain time, i believe they're cumulatively stored in the database.  I could be wrong though.

SMF doesn't have any stats that run on a timed basis.  I'd think that since its something happening at timed intervals and not ALL the time -- that only infers that its not the smf stats causing it.

Like i said, i have seen things like cPanels logrotate and stat crunching operations take out servers before

As BlackMage said, they are worked out on the fly, it's the stuff in "More Stats" such as number of posts / topics per day.

Thanks for that, I can rule out the internals and look elswhere.
