PHP Processes Spawn and Never Close

A little bit ago I had a site shut down at CrystalTech (Windows Server) – this is a new installation that I was moving to CrystalTech from Dreamhost. Dreamhost was complaining about overuse of CPU minutes (we’ve heard that one before). I’m getting around 3,000 unique users and 10,0000 page views per day on the site. Anyway, here below is the email I received from CrystalTech – any ideas?

Once again, this installation is currently running successfully at another host and appeared (visually) to be running fine at CT via IP address. I changed the name servers at the registrar and I’m assuming that as traffic climbed I got whacked.

The only real differnence I can think of here is how read/write permissions are handled.
