Hi,

They might be threads of the same [mysqld] proces. Can you tell me how I can
verify that?

Additional information is that the system is not in production yet,
therefore there is no load yet.
My main problem is that the system is very slow and that I found out (via ps
command) that the 10 unix processes of mysqld take up a lot of memory. As a
result, all memory is used and any queries directly result in swapping. The
responsetime of a website is about 4 seconds. My hope is that eliminating
unnessary [mysqld] unix-processess will free-up memory and result in less
swapping.

One of the things I tried to do is to set max_connections to 4 and
restarting mysql. After doing so, still 10 unix mysqld processess popped up
in the process table.

Any help would be really appreciated !

    Rob
