What does "vmstat 1" show when the load starts to climb? I suspect you are swapping, in which case your "si" and "so" (swap in and swap out) columns will be non-zero. If so, the solution would be to increase RAM per VM instance, or add more instances to distribute the work more. (To shrink each VM's share of the workload.)
