Hi, If you can follow this document:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue, 01 January 2008 23:31 To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Performance problem - MySQL at 99.9% CPU Hello, I am running a community site mainly based on phpBB. It has about 9.300 registered users, 650.000 posts and about 200.000 visitors/month (12 mill "hits"). The SQL database is about 700MB. It's all running on a couple of years old Dell box with two P4 Xeon 1.7Ghz CPUs, 1GB of RAMBUS memory and SCSI disks, with Linux and Apache. The last year the server has been having huge performance problems, and MySQL (5.0.45) seems to be the problem. It's almost constantly running at 99.9% CPU ("measured" using 'top'). I know the hardware isn't too hot, but either way I am a bit confused by the fact that I can't seem to get MySQL to run smoothly. Is this just too big a database for this kind of box, or could this be a configuration issue? I am thinking about buying a new dual core box (with IDE disks?), but I have to make sure this really is a hardware issue before I spend thousands of bucks. Any help will be hugely appreciated!
