Hello people, I'm currently configuring a quad CPU system as a standalone MySQL server. The machine runs nothing except for MySQL and some trivial things like SSH and iptables. A second server acts as a webserver and is connected to this one though an internal LAN connection. Using top or ps, it shows that MySQL eats over 99% of all the available CPU. Using slmon, it shows that indeed all 4 CPUs are fully in use. Still, it appears to be terribly slow and I don't think MySQL should eat over 99% CPU on a quad CPU system... The machine runs mysqld 4.0.18 on Debian Sarge. A stripped down my.cnf is included below (I merely removed the comments). Could anyone tell me what can cause this problem?
