  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 ...

P.S. it could have been related with mod_lisp + mod_xslt combination though ...
