high-load peaks

hello

for some time i'm having high-load peaks on my server

i attached the mrtg graphs for load, traffic and e-mails... so you can see there's no relation between them

on the next posts i'll also post snapshots of the process running and httpd status

one snapshot is from 19:35... as you can see on mrtg, the load is high at this time
the other is from 20:00... load down

there's nothing very different... so that's a mistery for me

and i know... the server is swapping... but it's swapping on both snapshots

any ideas on what may be causing this misterious load?

thanks

edit:
forgot to mention... the WHM "CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage" doesn't show anything weird
just that:

Top Process %CPU 99.9 netstat -npl
Top Process %CPU 97.0 netstat -nlp
Top Process %CPU 74.0 netstat -nlp
but that's probably because of port monitor or some other script like that
