If I had to guess, I'd guess bayes auto expire. Are you running site wide bayes? You could try several things: 1) turn off auto expire and run sa-learn --force-expire via cron at a predicatable hour (ie when the server is basically idle), 2) instal 3.0.1 and see if that helps or 3) since you have 3.0.1 installed now try Bayes in SQL which has an expire that is 7-9 times faster than Bayes DBM.
