 * Hi guys
 * We are having quite a few issues with server load and the site needing a restart.
   I have been told that is due to load on the mysql DB. The DB is about 350MB and
   the site has about 6000 posts.
 * We have a number of plugins working on the site they are:
 * Adminimize
    AdRotate Professional Advanced Excerpt BackUpWordPress Cimy User 
   Extra Fields Cimy User Manager Debug Bar Duplicate Post Dynamic Widgets Joomla2WP
   Migrated Users Authentication Plugin New RoyalSlider Posts Per Category Q2W3 
   Post Order Redirect To Homepage Relevanssi Remove Widget Titles Simple Ads Manager
   Social Media Feather Theme My Login User Role Editor Widget Logic WordPress Importer
 * The select queries per hour seem to be increasing, it is currently at about 3,220k
   per hour.
 * Can anyone point to any of the plugins that may be resource hogs or a potential
   solution. Happy to get more info if needed.
 * At present the site seems to be running fine but all of a sudden it could crash.
   The server company are giving little advice on what is causing the crash apart
   from saying that it is due to select calls to the mysql DB.
 * As you can prob notice I am not a sys admin. Thanks in advance any help would
   be greatly appreciated.
