When I run "show [full] processlist", there's an "Id" column, but it
doesn't corrospond with the Unix PID of the process (on OS's that use a
seperate PID for each thread-- like Linux does)... Is there any way
to(easilly) figure out which PID is handling the slave thread, so that I
might re-nice it after it's already been started up?

Any plan to add this feature? I would think it'd be useful...

MyTOP says our key efficiency is 97.35%, with an average of 1.24 q/sec (on
the master-- most queries are done directly on the slave, with only
updates happening on the master). We've optimized things as best we can.
The problem is our customers are allowed to bulk-load keywords into our
database, which causes about 4 large tables to be updated quite a bit.
Whenever this happens, the slaves struggle to get caught back up...
Thanks again,
