Server Load shooting up up!

I've a Dual Xeon on Fedora Core 1, Server Techs optimized mySQl and Apache 4 days back and it was all good till t'day and the load was around 3.

But the load now is around 15-20. Heres the "CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage" info dislpayed in WHM.

Code: 
User Domain %CPU %MEM Mysql Processes 
searchxs searchxs.com 61.30 12.09 8.7 
Top Process %CPU 62.6 httpd [www.searchxs.com] [/search.php]
