Here is my top output :

6747 example.com 15 0 241m 19m 8188 R 29.9[CPU] 0.2[RAM] 3:24.89 php

31798 mysql 15 0 1952m 422m 5384 S 12.0[CPU] 5.3[RAM] 9:00.27 mysqld

Look at PHP’s CPU usage. I don’t know which file is causing this load. Is there any module for show which file is using CPU under tree? I mean like this :

6747 example.com 15 0 241m 19m 8188 R 29.9[CPU] 0.2[RAM] 3:24.89 php

                     5.49%                          index.php
                    15.39%                         videos.php
                        x%                              y.php

31798 mysql 15 0 1952m 422m 5384 S 12.0[CPU] 5.3[RAM] 9:00.27 mysqld

    The simplest options (not saying the most accurate, but the simplest) will be:

    • For PHP, if you want to compare one PHP file against another, assume that the process that takes the longest is using most CPU. Use a network profiler (in-built into Chrome and IE, or Firebug) to find out which process takes longest. Failing that, user fiddler (on Windows) or Charles (Mac). Remove the data response times and average out the rest = time to generate response approx = CPU usage. Note that this will include external calls, memcached calls, mySQL calls etc.

    • for mySQL, the slow query log is invaluable. (Will need to be configure in my.cnf and restart the server – but it should be considered compulsory.)

    • For more diagnostics, Xdebug (as suggested by Xesued) will help you profile individual parts of scripts (as well as debug). Not recommended for production, though, as it will slow you down further.

    • Another crude way is to “echo microtime(true);” at various places in your script, or pump that info to a log file. (Open log file at start of script, and at various points record the microtime – look for the large gaps.)
