Hi Brian,

the average load (which is very small in your case) is not really 
relevant. Maybe you have a spike in traffic - like more than 8 requests 
received in the same time.

So, my advice is :
1) check on the network level if you receive bulk messages at a moment
2) maybe the processing you do for request is very slow - we could make 
an extension to the benchmark module to report the time required to run 
the script.

Regards,
Bogdan
