AWStats Crashing my Server?

Hmm, One of my webservers was performing GREAT up until just a few moments ago when it started to act crazy.

1) Started getting BIG slow-downs.
2) After few minutes they go away, AWStats shows 37% CPU Resources used by AW, but not sure if they are related.
3)Fine for 5-10 Minutes
4) Server slows-down again AWStats shows another process 41% CPU
5) Reboot Server
6) MysQL Errors etc but Apache Up
7) Minutes later, Server is for the most part fine...
8) Everything running full speed as of now.

Would AWStats cause significant slow-downs on a P4 2.4ghz/HT server? And any reason why this would occur now, and not in the past?

Or perhaps a different culprit...
