mysqld creates a few threads at startup (3, I think) plus one thread per active connection. The manual explains it better than myself: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/MySQL_threads.html Chances are that you have 8 clients connected.
Once again, your mysql server TOTAL memory usage is 40Mb. If this is too much, consider changing some parameters: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Server_parameters.html
Also, if you don't use InnoDB, make sure that you have skip-innodb option set in my.cnf. (There were a few mails on that topic a few hours ago, check mailing list archive).

Hi,
ps,top,.. on Linux show threads as processes. What you see is ONE process (mysqld) with 11 threads sharing 40Mb of memory.
Check http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Memory_use.html

hi list fellows,
os: suse linux 8.1 myqld: mysql-max-4.0.12-pc-linux-i686
i'm using innoDB and a standard my.cnf (medium) config file. every time i start the mysqld, there are over 11 deamons running, each one with 40MB !
the same constellation on a freebsd 4.6.2, same mysqld version, same config file, runs only twice (like supposed to be, right ?)
how can i prevent this, is there any config value i could set ?
thanks in advance geri
