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?

Thanks,
- Fahr
