Thank You!

Do you have any specific that you are having a problem with?

Because from the info you provided I can’t really see any problem.

mysql seems to be eating a lot CPU

from 49 - 150%

currently

10108 mysql 15 0 439m 270m 2608 S 89 13.3 25:36.71 mysqld

and load on server is almost always 2.5 and randomly junps up 25+

any suggestions

Suggestions are pretty common in this case:

  1. Configuration optimization
  2. Queries/indexes optimization

For configs optimization you can post (here onr on some pastie site) a results of the following commands:

  1. mysql command: SHOW GLOBAL STATUS;
  2. mysql command: SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES;
  3. mysql command: SHOW INNODB STATUS;
  4. shell command: mysqladmin extended -i120 -r

Notice: With the last command, wait for 2 minutes and copy’n’paste second portion of the output.
