Hi Moses - have noticed this for days - are you sure GAGR hasn't incurred some runaway processes affecting performance? I have no idea what server facility or server strength you are using, but, with the right configuration running vBulletin, you should not have load-related problems with the concurrent user population I see up on the (public) stats. I am in the IT business, I'd be delighted to bounce ideas around (vis Private Messages) if ever you needed some other inputs (not suggesting you do, just an off the cuff offer).
