I run mysql on FreeBSD and it's been giving me a lot of problems. Sometimes the load shoots up and some applications cannot access mysql server anymore. During such instances, when I run top, I get something like this:

Can someone explain this to me? I am lost for what could be causing me so much grief. I am not an MySQL expert.
