We're running MySQL 5.5.19 for Linux
We had the blobs in the database because of clustering. Since we've moved to
single stack, I suppose we could pull them out - not a long term solution, but
we could try and see if it helps.
I'll have our MySQL experts review the settings, the restructuring may be
accounting for some of the slow down. If we were seeing delays from MySQL, I
wouldn't expect Tomcat's CPU usage to be pegged though - I would think all the
threads would be idle, waiting for a response. Does that sound right to you?
Thanks
