Hi, When trying to improve system performance of my webserver, I found out that there are 10 entries of "[mysqld]" in the Unix proces table (ps aux), even when there are only one or two processes visible with the "mysqladmin proceslist" command. Those entries in the Unix proces table consume much memory and make the system slower than necessary.
Does anyone have a hint about how to limit the number of Unix processes. I do have another (test) system, which is working fine. This system has about one entry in the Unix proces table for each mysql thread (as expected). However I cannot spot any differences in configuration between both systems. (at least not in my.cnf). See output underneath. Thanks for your time....
