Question about Raq 3 load average

Before I start, let me just say that I am not a techy. So if it appears that I am somewhat technically challenged it is because I am.

Here is one of the messages that I recently got.

Over the past fifteen minutes, the CPU has been heavily loaded.

This will result in noticible performace loss. Consider moving some of the services to other Cobalt servers, or reduce the complexity of the CGI scripts running on the Cobalt server itself.

1 minute load average: 48.80
5 minute load average: 89.06
15 minute load average: 117.98
My raq3 currently has 256mb or ram. Would upgrading the memory to 512mb help correct this problem for a quick fix? I am waiting to get my hands on a raq 550, but it is not yet availiable by my web hosting company (4webspace).

What should I do? Remember, you are dealing with a technical idiot.

Thanks in advance!
