Site "slowdowns"

I put the slowdowns in quotes because they are negligible at best but i noticed it tonight was i was on the forums. At midnight and 4am Eastern the backups on this server for all accounts run. It takes about 30 minutes to backup the entire server each time. During this time the forums took a bit longer than normal to respond to things. I just wanted to let folks know that if you experience this it is most likely the backups on the server at their scheduled time. What causes the slowdown is the backup process chews up every bit of unused CPU time for compression of the the backups. While the sites do get their fair share this leaves no room for peaking which many websites rely on for optimal performance. Let me know if you have any questions.
