High load

Vbseo for the last 3 weeks is spiking my load to %CPU 81.0 i have not changed anything but turned of features to try and improve things.
I have just upgraded from a vps to semi dedicated (12 clients) but i am still getting these "excessive processes running" email warnings sent from the server that show Process Count: 14 (Not killed) followed by 14 paths ending in vbseo.php
Any ideas why this is happening.

Here's some screen shots from WHM, although my site is running fine without crashing this gave me some concern.
Is this normal.?

Hi handyman,

Because of the nature of vBSEO everything runs through vbseo.php so problems with any other plugin's / scripts will look like they are caused by vbseo even though they are not.

Can I ask you what else you have installed?
Do you have any caching enabled xCache or MemCache for example installed?

Just Zend by the looks of things, I do have many VB mods installed but nothing new has been added and everything was fine until a few weeks ago.

I have disabled vbseo for the last 24 hours and the problem has gone away.

zend optimizer + ioncube have know conflict issues on apache. I'd recommend un-installing one of them (neither are required by vb/vbseo)

For me what helped was adding the members ID# to the url for each member profile.
