Hi All,
          We have a production Database, running mysql 4.0.17 , on a
Poweredge 2650 with 3 GB RAM, and dual Xeon 2.4 GHZ, the server
averages between 100 and 200 qps ( ,also and the CPU/MEM load is
pretty low and is extremely fast except for once in a while may be 1
in 10000 queries take mote than 3 seconds to execute
(slow_query_time), and the status of the query is always "writing to
net"

Initially the NIC was an Intel 10/100, then the slow queries were a
lot more, then I started using the Broadcom Gigabit port that comes
with the 2650, and recently I also started load balancing the traffic
between the two Broadcomm NIC'S using the Basp Module, so that I
effectively have a 200 MBPS full duplex link( the switch connected has
only FE ports), with this setting the slow queries have decreased a
lot, but they do come up once in a while..

There is no lock time in any of them, I have tried using both InnoDB
and MyISAM, but they dont seem to go away, so I was wondering why
there are still few queries which still have "writing to Net" in the
status line and sometimes take 30-50 seconds to execute, note that if
the queries are run in any mysql client they run in less than 0.005
seconds, so I am pretty sure its the network thats the bottleneck, and
buying a Gigabit capable switch is not an option now, also sometimes
the traffic on the server goes upto 35MBPS.

So why is mysql not sending the results back to the client and
sometimes waiting soo long, also while mysql is waiting for a long
query( in the Writing to Net status)  hundreds of other queries are
executed extrelmely fast.

I am not very familiar with how mysql handles network packets, and why
its holding back .......

Any help would be appreciated ......
