Hi, A few days ago i posted a quaestion about performace, I now have a little more info, hopefully someone can help.
I have a table, tblShoppingCart with 3 fields, cartUid (int 11 auto increment) userUid (int 11, indexed) strCartHash (varchar 32) The table is innodb Nomally my server load is below 0.1 and everythings fine, I have a process that runs occasionally that pushes the load up to 1.5, when this happens inserts into the table seem to get blocked, ie taking up to 20 seconds, as soon as the load drops the inserts are fine again. Interestingly, if I convert the table to myisam I don't get this problem. However I really want to keep the table innodb as I use it in transactions latter. My my.cnf file is coppied from the default huge.cnf file, i have duel xeons with 4gb of ram and i'm running mysql 4.1.1 on red hat linux. Any pointers on where i can look further appreciated.
