midgard-project.org and up and down

As you probably noticed Midgard website was acting up for last two days. And to be honest I started to blame myself as I made database update using datagard just before server crashed. I started to wonder: "why it happened on our server when it works fine everywhere else?". Bad luck?
This morning I got shell access to server and stopped to disable services one by one and investigate what is really going on there.
Two hours later I noticed that Apache is starting to use 100% ( well , top said 116% few times ) of CPU every five minutes. Cron job? That was it. I disabled MidCOM cron services till MidCOM developers fix the issue.
We just need to find the issue quickly.
