Hi everybody, I think we need to focus on three things:-
A) temp tables created on disk B) table cache size C) buffer sizes If you find the number of temp tables created on disk is very large, please increase the temp_table_size. Enable the slow query log And check if sort buffer size and join buffer size needss to be increased if multiple joins are used. Also check whether the tables used in the slow queries do have index build on them or not. This heavily impacts the performance. If not create index on frequently used tables. Please try the above and let us know if resolved.

MyISAM locks _tables_. That can cause other connections to be blocked. Solution: switch to InnoDB. Caution: There are a few caveats when switching; see https://kb.askmonty.org/en/converting-tables-from-myisam-to-innodb/ 2. As mentioned by Shawn, the Query Cache can be more trouble than it is worth. However 90 seconds cannot be blamed on the QC. Still, shrink it or turn it off: * If frequently writing to tables, turn it off (type=OFF _and_ size=0) * If less frequently, then decide which queries will benefit, add SQL_CACHE to them, set type=DEMAND and size=50M (no larger). 3. Meanwhile, try to make that long query more efficient. Can you show it to us, together with SHOW CREATE TABLE, SHOW TABLE STATUS, and EXPLAIN ? > -----Original Message----- > From: Bruce Ferrell [mailto:bferr...@baywinds.org] > Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 6:05 PM > To: mysql@lists.mysql.com > Subject: Re: Slow Response -- What Does This Sound Like to You? > > On 05/09/2013 03:25 PM, Robinson, Eric wrote: > >> > >>> -----Original Message----- > >>> From: Robinson, Eric [mailto:eric.robin...@psmnv.com] > >>> Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 1:58 PM > >>> To: mysql@lists.mysql.com > >>> Subject: Slow Response -- What Does This Sound Like to You? > >>> > >>> We have a situation where users complain that the system > >> periodically > >>> freezes for 30-90 seconds.
