Apache CPU use This can't be right can it?

[jame58rown]

Just moved to a new dedicated server. My old server had Plesk 9 installed, had one quad core processor and 8gb ram. It ran 4 forums and a few wordpress sites with no problem.

My new server has 24 cores. 2 x 2.1GHz AMD Opteronâ„¢ 12 Core processors and 32gb of Ram but the server health panel keeps alarming with the Apache CPU use; even though its running less than the old server. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks

Server health parameter "Services > Apache CPU usage" changed its status from "yellow" to "red".
