And I believe I have discovered the bad bot that was causing the issue, I have banned it's IP range, we'll see what effects that has as I was still seeing spikes in server load.

Belatedly fronting up to the bar. Bloody hell! The pound doesn't buy many dollars these days! Worth every penny for a non facebooker!
I wake up every morning with a smile upon my face,
My natural exuberance spills out all over the place!

Take care of yourselves.
