We have been having huge problems with mySQL for months now running on freebsd so we decided to try using linuxthreads and also upgrade to mysql 4. This has done the trick and its actually serving the pages quicker because we have turned query caching on. I would say try installing linuxthreads then recompile your current version of mySQL to have linuxthread support. If that doesn't work try upgrading to 4.
