If your bottleneck is memory speed, you will see 100% CPU usage even if the CPU actually spend 99% of its time idle, waiting for data to come in. I'm not too up to date on the latest RAM technology, but I hear there's several types of DDR, the most expensive one being significantly faster. Or is it? Anyone care to share some insight on this? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
