I am running 3.2-3 and have been having similar issues. I haven't really tracked down exactly what is causing them but I have shed some light on it. We got kicked off our last host, but all they would say was we were overloading the server with "too many simultaneous SQL queries". We moved to a new, virtual dedicated server so we could keep a better eye on what is happening. I haven't noticed an inordinate amount of sql queries, but I have noticed that our apache proccesses are rather large (10-15M) and that periodically the server gets overloaded, apache starts to spawn like crazy, the server eats up all its memory and swap space and then it becomes extremely unresponsive. This seems to generally happen just after we've cleared the cache, which makes sense since it has to re-create all the pages and we get quite a few hits. The only solution we have come up with so far is to throw more memory at it. It was crashing once every few hours at 64 megs of ram, now it has 128 megs and crashes every few days. If it keeps happening we'll throw more memory at it. Generally what I see happening in our case is that apache/php/ezpublish are unable to recover when they've used up the available memory.
