I don't know why there are sometimes dozens of instances of this script in the process table. Perhaps it's some harvesting exercise; something search scripts might be vulnerable to? Wild guess.
I think it's probably because the script is so slow. People press submit, wait, "nothing happens", they think it didn't work, they press submit again and again.
I'm also trying to offer a solution that isn't heavy on your time so the service could come back up asap - queuing searches during load.
Do you know of some already-working thing that does this? There's been discussion on IRC but we haven't come up with a good way to do it yet.
