no.. i had an impression that the slowness can be perfectly measured only if i have very less idle CPU.. My worries how to make MySQL to utilize the fullest CPU time.. either in User/Nice mode.

That's why i can't understand why it consumes only 50% of CPU. Interestingly its nice% is also 0. I mean only if MySQL utilizes the full CPU, i can estimate the performance of MySQL for different Client Applications.

"If not wrong, for any application, we can estimate the performance level only it its idle time is less than 5%." What do u mean by the above statement. regards anandkl On 10/29/07, Devi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Anand, Thanks for the immediate response. The us% is around 50 and sy% is around 10. Other than idle some 3-5% was given to software & hardware interrupts. If not wrong, for any application, we can estimate the performance level only it its idle time is less than 5%.
