Well it could cause it, but it would have to be a lot of massive files....we transferred all our files and database on Saturday and the server did not even blink, this despite the whole lot being over 1.5gb.

On my current host it always seems to be one of two things:

1) Rogue scripts running that don't close properly and gradually consume all the resources
2) Less commonly, attempted dDoS attacks on the server.
