I had this problem and the only thing I came up with after a solid week of researching and studying was to just reboot the dialer every night. This wipes out alot of things through the startup scripts.
The source for me was one our leads table was 13 million records and the queries that brought the data to the screen for the agents and the hopper scripts would sometimes hit right at the same time and it would just hang... after 15 to 20 seconds the data would show up and issue go away for 2-4 hours. So i just pay a tech to come in every night at midnight and reboot it. Which i hate.. Linux servers should rarely need reboots... But in dialer world (linux or windows) it seems regular reboots are in fact accepted, even daily. Sorry this doesnt help much!
How hard are you pushing it? I know the loads are low but agents, dial ratios, lines?
I did notice that if i lowered the speed of things it fell back into place as well. We would start out the day with 125 agents, all outbound campaigns using 5 to 1 dialing with answering machine detection turned on, and if it started happening (even though loads where low on all servers), i would lower dialing to 3 to 1, it would go away and I could have the dialer manager turn it back up.
