Mysql 5.0.18 and Suse 9.1

[Diego Ramos]

Hi list.

    I'm using mysql 5.0.18(max) on a DELL PowerEdge 1600 with Suse
9.1Professional, I noticed that the mysql process is always with 99,9%
of CPU
utilization and the system load average sometimes qets up to 12.5. I was
wondering with it is normal. Should I upgrade it to a newer mysql version?

Thanks,

Diego Ramos
