Matthew,

Without any more information, I would put money on this being either a
database design issue or a query design issue.  I really expect that
database optimization would buy you a lot of performance.

But without knowing what kind of database structure you have, what kind of
queries you run, what kind of optimization you have done, what you consider
to be a LOT of traffic, what kind of server settings you are using and what
kind of hardware you run on -- I really can't say much more than that.

Subject: mySQL Issues


I run a site that gets a LOT of traffic and uses mySQL. But for some reason,
mySQL is making MAJOR load on my server. I have tried it on several servers,
and they all end up with load averages like 10+!  We have optimized our code
as much as possible and STILL are getting super high loads! Is there ANYWAY
to optimize mySQL so it doesn't run soooo much load??
