Hey guys,

I do run MySQL on a high traffic Server with approximately 10k databases. Since some time MySQL is has become very sluggish. When I look at my processlist it shows more than 25 processes (sometimes of the same & table) with status "Opening tables". Some processes also show "closing tables". Since I am running I shared hosting environment, I can not examine the situation to such extent, where I could see if table locks are involved. But it does not seem to be the case, since it does not appear for just some users, but for everybody. Also when I run a simple select query it takes more than 2 sec.

I guess MySQL is trying to tell me, that my hard drive is too slow. How could I ease this situation ? My key_buffer is set to 1Gb of my 4Gb system memory. Other values are tweaked as well, but I do not think the matter in that case.
Would partitioning the disk as Raid 0 ease the situation?

What other places do I have to look at, to further narrow down the problem?

Regards,
Samy
