Nobody using alot of resources

I have been on a VP box that has been managed for years. I decided that I wanted to do it on my own since basically my sites are the only ones on the server..

The problem that I am getting is that I keep getting a high server load. Right now it is

Server Load 2.13 (4 cpus)

It actually jumps up to 5 and at night to 6 or 7 at times..

My question is.. How can I tell what is causing the high server load? I am hosting a couple of other domains for friends.. but basically, the server is pretty much for my domains.

Right now it shows that NOBODY: is using almost 12% of the cpu.. what is nobody? and what do I do about it?
