[gentoo-dev] Performance once again..

Hi there.
I switched to Gentoo on two of my servers recently. Before that I used
Debian stable with a 2.4.18-Kernel.
Right now the machines are nearly useless. They should serve lots of
pages, but every ~24h everything freezes without any load on the
machines.. The load drops to 0.01 and nothing is delivered.
Only a restart of apache resets this timeframe again.
Well, after searching for a solution for about 3-4 days I'm already in
the mood to wipe Gentoo, install Debian again and stay with Gentoo for
Desktop only..
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be glad to give them a try, but I
cannot afford to have two systems down on a regular basis for more than
2-3 days..

I installed 1.4, used the 2.4.20 vanilla-kernel and I installed nothing
special but exim and apache/php.
All of them use the most current ebuilds in the x86 portage-tree.
I wonder if this is related to the problems someone pointed out with the
select() performance? But it would be a vanilla-problem then?

TIA for any suggestions,
Ben
