Alioth slowness - web pages not loading, top showing 10.00+

Hello,

  While doing some research on git and alioth, certain web pages take
  very long to load and some time out. For example, I am having
  trouble reaching the debian-perl team's web site -
  http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/ 

  When I log into alioth via ssh and do a quick top, I see that there
  are some processes (postmaster) using a lot of CPU and that the one
  minute load average appeared quite high, i.e. > 10.00.

  While I realize that alioth is a bit of a workhorse and is used to
  running under heavy load, I thought I would report this slowness
  and heavy load to this list in case someone thought it was worth
  looking into.

  Thanks,

  Jeremiah
