Comment:

 What exactly are you doing to DoS the host? It would be more helpful if
 you ran arm with its '--debug' argument which will create a debugging log
 at '~/.arm/log' (of course, scrub it if you find any information in it you
 consider to be private). Timestamps matching the log's timezone for when
 you performed the DoS and the resulting resource usage spike would be
 useful.

 Cheers! -Damian
