Look in caching request if possible. Is the server providing you enough resources, maybe an upgrade to a better hosting/server is necessary. If your script running as efficiently as possible? eg minimal sql queries etc...

You may also consider lowering the amount of logging that you're doing, and turn off error logging on your production websites.

Remember that for every one connection, the log files go nuts! So not only are the disks serving web pages, crunching PHP scripts, but also logging the actions and errors. You should have a staging box the same as your production server. All of your troubleshooting should be done there, and your coding done on a dev box.
