I'm no expert, but whenever I tried to debug slowness I found it
useless that top(1) only shows "apache" w/out a way to tell which
service is actually keeping apache busy.

I suspect it's trac, being a big apache module, but I've no proof
of that.

One thing I know is that I enabled trac logging when I started looking
at trac, so it could be tried to disable it, see /etc/trac/* (it's
under git).
