Cheers, Gerhard
It seems every day at 10am and 10pm PST, Drupal.org goes unresponsive for up to half an hour... people say it's the packaging script, but as far as I can tell, the load uniformly drops flat on all our machines at this time.
Besides, if it was only one server running the packaging (I'd assume drupal3, as that's where CVS is), it shouldn't affect other systems. And if drupal3 was somehow hogging the database, then the database load would go up, not down, at this time, and we'd see Drupal DB error screens rather than unresponsive web servers.
In fact, it seems none of the requests reach our web servers at all, so it might even be network-related (the pushing out of the packages to OSUOSL FTP hogging all the bandwidth maybe?).
In any case, this is /really/ embarrasing for a web project and people complain it on #drupal daily like clockwork. I've tried to look at it, but my findings don't make sense.

Ok, I figured it out, mysqloptimize runs at that time. I've niced that job.
AHA. Should've known it was something so simple.
