sql spam filter

Hi

I'm running MySQL-3.23.37 on a cobalt raq. I have a table with approx 
40,000 records and a dozen users running simple queries and updates - 
names, addresses that kinda thing, but every time a query is run mysql 
takes everything it can get and the box freezes:

 10:33am  up 12:18,  1 user,  load average: 0.37, 0.55, 1.74
66 processes: 64 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 71.5% user, 20.5% system,  0.0% nice,  7.9% idle
Mem:   517188K av,  207384K used,  309804K free,   50216K shrd,   13508K 
buff
Swap:  131532K av,   40240K used,   91292K free                  122896K 
cached

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT  LIB %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
28351 mysql     10   0  7064 5924   856 S       0 77.3  1.1   1:41 mysqld

Is there somethig I need to optimise?? I'm using the "as supplied" 
my_large.cnf.

Any help, suggestions gratefully rec'd

Steve
