The part of CPANEL I'm looking for (and use on other hosts) is the CPU throttle. This tool a) automatically throttles the CPU a process can use to keep a process for jeopardizing a shared server, and b) can provide data within a 15 minute window on when the throttling occurred so I can isolate the offending process. This also works if a spybot (over which I have no control) has cranked up my site's CPU usage for a minute or two.

Lunar Pages can only tell me --- Gee sometime in the past 24 hours your CPU usage was unacceptable. Great for diagnostics huh?

I represent a small non-profit organization. We have a couple of times a year where we change a lot of data, and have abnormally high activity. (Ideal situations for a CPU throttle, I'd think.) LP is really pushing us to go to dedicated hosting at nearly $2,000 per year (which would eliminate eight scholarships, or several complete education programs) simply to avoid this issue a couple of times a year.

If you can't provide us a throttling option, please at least give us proper diagnostic tools so we can track back to specific activities!
