    Check your MySQL process list when it's under high load to see what queries are causing the issue. It maybe be add-ons you have installed or something else...

    Ask the writer of the high-resource mods to rewrite them properly? :)

    lol if that was possible all mods would slowly vanish from there and become premium paid mods

    Depends on how much ram you currently have, ask your host.

    i) Try enabling cache for anonymous users.
    Not sure if it is there on VB, but avaiable in other CMS, like in wordpress supercache./ (Drupal - performance->cache)
    I had this with one of client's drupal site last month, the hosting suspended my acc, and then I had to enable cache for anonymous users and after that no issue till now.
    ii) Any email notification/subscription email queues etc can hinder the perf.
    iii) Check for any file not found errors in logs (htdocs)
    iv) Also, may be you could try asking your hosting support to check which script/process is eating the CPU cycles.

    Just out of my exp, Sorry, if this is not relavent for you, I dont have much experience with vB
