Ok, high sys load in "ufs" state for me was often caused by PHP session storage. By default, PHP will store all session records in a single directory, which can grow to monstruous sizes. If this is also your case, here are some things to try: a) increase vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem to 10 MB or something like that (look at vfs.ufs.dirhash_mem to see if you're hitting the limit and if so, monitor it to see what your dirhash_maxmem limit should be) b) configure PHP to use "sharded" directory structure for sessions.
