Magento

We’re running Magento 1.6.0.0 and it’s taking over a minute to load pages on our site. The CPU usage for each PHP process (CGI) is 100% the entire time and an strace shows that it’s reading the same Zend cache file over and over. I’ve disabled the cache and it still creates and reads these files..

Does anyone know why this would be occurring? Is this a bug with Magento 1.6 or Zend? I couldn’t find anything about it when I searched so I decided to try and create a new topic to see if anyone had any ideas. Nothing I’ve tried to do seems to help.
