CSF/LFD Slows Server

Have a strange issue here. Recently a VPS we manage has had massively increased traffic (400%+) than usual. With CSF/LFD enabled, even though load on the box is low, connections are extremely slow and often timeout or take over 20 seconds to load. With CSF/LFD disabled, connections are much faster and don't timeout at all.

No recent configuration changes have been made, and we use the same global configuration file across 10+ VPS boxes. None of the others are exhibiting any symptoms at all.

How do we begin to diagnose this?

Hi,

Check your config settings. There are a few settings that specifically state can slow down server and few that can speed it up. It's more than likely as stated before by onehalf that it large list of rulesets ,etc.
