Server slow with many idle workers

Hi,

Yesterday, I notice my WP Dashboard is a little slow compared with normal. So I check my Apache status, and find there are only 7 requests are being served, with remaining 193 idle workers. And the server load is also low(0.10, 0.16, 0.24), considering my server has 32 CPUs.

So why there will be such slow? Is it normal with so many idle workers?

considering my server has 32 CPUs.
If your setup has insufficient RAM allocated, it can be slow regardless of the server's processing power.

Hi, @not2easy +

My server has 128GB RAM. That should be large enough.

Have there been any site wide alterations since the old and new activity? Changes to config, etc? Upgrades? Something obviously has changed, the question is how to identify the cause.

Reduce the number of allowed workers and see if there is any improvement.
