Hi, I've recently installed a MySQL 5.1.23-rc-log:
| version | 5.1.23-rc-log | | version_comment | MySQL Community Server (GPL) | | version_compile_machine | x86_64 | | version_compile_os | redhat-linux-gnu | I noticed that I always have 2 processes runing on Linux doesn't matter the amount of concurrent connections that is running on MySQL. Due to that, MySQL is using only 1 CPU instead of using 8 CPUs that exist on this machine: linux$ ps aux | grep mysql root 20327 0.0 0.0 64048 1272 ?
