For months now I have been fighting high server loads, and you get "the server is busy messages", well I finally figured it out, it was caused by (Aggressive MSN Search Bots)
I finally got the loads way down to below where I have ever seen them. I killed the beast!
Google on the other hand doesn't seem to bother our loads so I left them alone.
Below is a graph of our server loads for the past month and you can see the results. You will also see spikes and these are when I killed another IP owned by M$.
