I am not sure whether it is related yet - I was having simmilar problems with tbnl/cmucl while making mod_lisp interoperate with mod_xslt. While server was getting enough traffic it was pretty responsive yet after long pauses I was getting timeouts. Though tbnl on sbcl was working fine with such configuration. The workaround i have found was - send a ping request once in a few seconds not letting cmucl "sleep". As if one of cmucl threads was hogging all the resources and not giving any to threads that were not doing anything for a while ...
Ah, wait! You guys use
(mp::startup-idle-and-top-level-loops)
on startup, don't you? If you don't, that /could/ be the reason for the symptons you describe.
