Hello

Time to time I see strange overload of MySQL on dedicated server. The server is
powerful enough to handle ~ 500 req/s. MySQL version is 3.23.40
and runs on Linux 2.4.16-SMP. The overload which I mean leds to stop
answering to queries and looks like:

  6:24pm  up 6 days,  2:34,  2 users,  load average: 164.18, 91.07, 39.56
270 processes: 73 sleeping, 197 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU0 states: 99.23% user,  0.15% system,  0.0% nice,  0.1% idle
CPU1 states: 97.17% user,  2.21% system,  0.0% nice,  0.0% idle
Mem:   513504K av,  500000K used,   13504K free,       0K shrd,   22892K buff
Swap: 1036184K av,    7540K used, 1028644K free                  305928K cached
  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
30453 mysql     14   0 19204  18M  2224 R     6.9  3.7   0:02 mysqld
30454 mysql     14   0 19204  18M  2224 R     6.9  3.7   0:02 mysqld
[skip]
30460 mysql     16   0 19204  18M  2224 R     6.9  3.7   0:02 mysqld

On the other hand I see Slow_launch_threads counter equal to 2 that
means there were a problem with thread create (took more then 2 sec).
Others thread-related counters:
Threads_cached  59
Threads_created 68
Threads_connected       2
Threads_running 1

So what seems to be a source of the problem - linux kernel, MySQL
3.23.40 or wrong tunning ? Your comments/ideas are very welcome.
