After a weekend of pretty heavy usuage (150-200 queries per sec) I can say the "thread thrashing" has been fixed with the latest binary.
Our load averages however, are still 2-3x what they were with the older binary. Even when mysql isn't being queried at all (when apache is shut down) the load average hovers around 1.3 or so. We never saw load averages higher than 3 or so under max usage with the older binary but we saw 7 or higher over the weekend. Very strange. The end result is that I will either try compiling from source or go back to an older binary since I can't diagnose the cause of the higher load averages. Thanks to everyone on the list for their help and suggestions. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
