I'm doing some tests on a 16.000.000 rows table.
Doing a simple "SELECT SUM(MYFIELD) FROM MYTABLE" I noticed
that disks are at 0.1%, while cpu arrives up to 80%.
How is that possible? My HDs are IDE. MySql has around
30Mb of ram, I thought it should read a lot from disk.

Even doing lots of queries by key I get only high cpu usage,
not disk reads.

Is that normal?
