Ugrade from 4.01.3-max to 4.0.16, now slower

[trevor%tribenetwork.com]

Hello,

 

            I recently upgraded from 4.0.13-max to 4.0.16 and now the same
queries/sec cause a higher load on the database server.  I upgraded to
4.01.6 since the optimizer was not using some of my fulltext indicies.  All
our tables are MyIsam so I figure there is no reason to use the MAX version.
In addition my Redhat 9.0 machine now lists all the mysld threads under top,
whereas before top listied a single myslqd process.  Any information is
appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Trevor
