Sorry, one last theory before I go to bed (it has gone 3AM here). I have noticed that the pipe on your server can be a bit thin at peak times and free videos take a while to load. No problem with that - it encourages surfers to pay for the better service. However in my experience from when I was on an overloaded virtual server, it also slows the running of scripts and they time out, only sending what they created of a page at the point they timed out, which was usually mangled HTML. Looking at my first example of the search box result, that was the sort of result I was getting from CGI created pages when my server was too overloaded to handle scripts at peak times.
