XML Sitemap Timing Out/Causing CPU Spikes

    I run a blog with around 20,000 posts and recently my Apache Server has been crashing and it seems like Yoast is the reason.

    My site functions normally but then randomly shoots up in CPU and Apache displays repeated sitemap_index.xml errors. When I visit it directly it doesn’t display my sitemap it simply displays a white hanging page and adds to my CPU load.

    I still seem to be ranking on new posts with the XML sitemap disabled and my CPU has returned to normal. Additionally I’m seeing Open-Files-Limit errors causing CPU spike potentially as a result of the XML sitemap as well!?

    Please advise CPU load has been causing me so much grief lately!
