Right, and this is true in the original posters case.., because he
said he had 60 daemons of Mysql opened up.  So each of those mod_perl
threads must have a couple of mysql connections open, so you are
probably right..., he is partially CPU bound, but also io bound, so
his 8 processes was probably dead on.  I didn't think about that for
some reason... I guess I have a one track CPU bound mind :-).
