First thing I would do is go through all the daemons that are running
that Redhat enables by default that you don't need and start eliminating
them. Webmin, Medusa and Squid are useless if it's a web server. Other
things like disabling X and other apps that you don't need running can
save you allot of resources. Is there a cron job that might be causing
this? Check your crontab...
