I have a RH 6.2 server, which seems to be unable to keep up with the load

operation.

How do I find out how many files are open and by what programs?  Is it
possible to increase the number of files which can be open?

lsof may be a good place to start - it lists all open files; it is a LONG list! Perhaps you should run it at intervals (and save the output) to see if there is a single program that runs amok.
