----------------- Yesterday happened to be one of the busiest days for us ever on our MySQL backed web site. For the entire day MySQL was hit with up to 1200 queries/second, and many queries were being delayed at least 2-15 seconds. -----------------
I know how you feel. We were hitting 7700 queries/second today until the web server went into swap space and ruined everything. :( ----------------- What other statistics can I look at? ----------------- Besides 'iostat -k 1', I'd try 'vmstat 1'. ----------------- Our hardware is dual P3 1GHz, 2GB of RAM, and about 56GB of IDE RAID-1 backed disk (3ware escalade). ----------------- I love IDE RAID for a workstation (great for video and audio production), but for a database server I'd suggest SCSI RAID. What is the disk rotation speed? Disk seek is very important for databases. (Today, in fact, our main server will be getting a multichannel 10 disk SCSI 15K rpm striped RAID array.) But the real question is: are you CPU or disk bound? If it doesn't point really heavily at either, then it is both. :( -s --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
