I've noticed that when I put my site offline my server load goes super high, but when the site is in online mode, everything runs fast and smooth. Is Drupal losing the connection to memcached while being in offline mode? If so, that behavior should be changed, thanks :)

EDIT: I don't know if this goes as a memcached issue or not, sorry for that.

By offline I assume you mean maintenance mode. This should make no difference when you are logged in. When you are logged in the load on the server is sure to be far lower than when using the site as anonymous user because page caching is being used. OTH if you are comparing logged in in both cases, with and without maintenance mode enabled, you may have a weird bug.

There is useful info in this thread http://drupal.org/node/287644

If you server is relatively powerful you should not see high cpu usage, though it can get highish for a single page call especially when running php as mod_php.

Thanks for the response. When I say "offline mode" I mean maintenance mode, when I put the site in this mode, the server load gets really high, I'm not sure what happens, BTW I'm also using APC. My server isn't that powerful, but when the site is in normal mode, the load is ok-ish.

That is strange. You do not say whether you use apc for opcode cache or data cache (it can do both). Not that that would solve the problem you might install Devel module and see what is different in maintenance mode.
