   A customer has just uploaded a new buddypress site to my server.

   Whenever the site is activated, my 1gb apache memory usage goes from 2% (20mb) to 65/75% (700mb) and stays there, this is after only 1 person has surfed to the home page. site is not known by anyone so no real traffic.

   I need to find out if this is its normal running load or if there is a problem.

   I have installed WP System Health, however I dont know what to look for in the way of incorrect running.

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   Hi neononcon,

   until this site was drop on my server, the apache memory was only ever 2 - 10%, even with a lot of traffic across the sites. Theres something happening, probably a wonky plugin from what i can gather. going to switch all off then reactivate 1 at a time

   BuddyPress is going to put some additional load on your server, but it shouldn't be anywhere near that high. Chances are there is a rogue plugin on the loose that's causing this, but it could be server config or even a bug in BuddyPress somewhere that no one has uncovered yet. :)

   Do you have access to the error and access logs to see if anything is wrong or missing?

   Hi John,

   I have access to every element of the site and any info from the server as well. Im not WP/BP literate yet, so if you tell me what to get exactly and ill post.

   I deactivated all plugins, and this seemed to drop the load considerably, still cannot pick out a particualar misbehaving plugin.

   I spoke to the web developer that built it, he wasnt much help, he's blaming the server for not being WP compatible..... made me giggle for a bit.
