High MySQL CPU Load

Hello All,
I am currently running the following:
OS X Server 10.5.5
2x3GHz Multi-Core Xserve
8GBs RAM
MySQL Server v5.0.67
One problem I am having is that when someone does a MySQL database search on a particular webpage the CPU load can get upwards to 400% render the search useless to all other clients. The MySQL CPU load is getting so high that no one can then do a search and the results never come back until the other queries are finished first.
Why won't MySQL use the 8GBs of memory I have installed instead of sucking up CPU? Is there a way to allocate this in the OS or terminal? If not, should I be optimizing MySQL settings instead to better work with my query statement and 8GBs of memory that I have installed? I'm not exactly sure what to adjust within the MySQL settings if this is the case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much!

@Camelot,
I have not configured anything, everything is default install. I have about 6 devs on this box at all times and we do not have a MySQL admin. I really need to fine tune this setup as the DBs are starting to grow very big. I am looking for any help at this point and want to start fixing this now before it becomes more of a problem. I am going to start researching the MySQL dev zone ASAP.
@Mabel
Here is the output of MySQLtuner:
*Maybe I need Snow Leopard to utilize all 8GBs of RAM??*

Enable the slow query log to troubleshoot bad queries
When making adjustments, make tmptable_size/max_heap_tablesize equal
Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries without LIMIT clauses
Variables to adjust:
querycachelimit (> 1M, or use smaller result sets)
sortbuffersize (> 2M)
readrnd_buffersize (> 8M)
tmptablesize (> 32M)
maxheap_tablesize (> 16M)
innodbbuffer_poolsize (>= 138M)
Should I just go with these adjustments for now or do you guys recommend anything else?
Thank you very very much guys!!!

  • Extremely high system CPU load on my new 2012 Macbook Pro

    I just brought my brand new 2012 Macbook Pro (non-retina) home from the store and noticed that it was running INCREDIBLY slow. I opened up the activity monitor and found that the system's CPU load is consistently around 70%-90%. I haven't installed any software outside of google chrome, although the issue was happening even before I installed google chrome.
    Here are screenshots of my macbook's specs
    Here's a screenshot of the processes sorted by %CPU
    Here's a screenshot of the processes sorted by CPU Time
    Any idea what would cause such a high system CPU load? Again I haven't installed any software outside of google chrome, and I don't have anything hooked up to my Macbook. This issue happens when my Macbook is both plugged and unplugged and I haven't noticed any overheating or extensive fan use.

    harkiamsuperman,
    your first image shows Chrome using over half of the CPU time. Note that Chrome on Mavericks is more CPU-intensive than other browsers, since Google does not provide a 64-bit version of the app for OS X.
    Since you’ve just brought your MacBook Pro home, perhaps Spotlight is doing its initial indexing of your internal disk; that could be one possible explanation. If that is the cause, then your CPU usage should settle down after it finishes.
    If you’d like to try something simple and immediate, you could reset your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller, to see if that makes a difference.

  • High Xorg CPU load

    hi everybody,
    i installed a fresh arch to my new acer aspire 1810tz and have a problem with xorg. after logging into my xfce, "top" displays between 80% and 85% cpu load by "X", sometimes for several minutes, sometimes just for short. the xorg logfile gives about a hundred times the following lines:
    (II) PM Event received: Capability Changed
    I830PMEvent: Capability change
    (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "CMO", prod id 4352
    (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines:
    (II) intel(0): Modeline "1366x768"x0.0   65.56 1366 1373 1408   768 769 772 776 -hsync -vsync (46.6 kHz)
    i guess this is what causes the problem, although i'm not sure about that. i do not use an xorg.conf but hal and the "intel" driver with "intel_agp" and "i915" in mkinitcpio.conf MODULES section, as described in ArchWiki for kernel modesetting, maybe there is a relation between this?
    greetings!

    i've got news...
    when starting powertop, the problem occurs immediately, but when additionally running glxgears, it doesn't occur, so i guess it really is a graphics processor powersave state problem.
    i would guess that glxgears prevents the graphics processor from going to idle state and trying to save energy.
    is there a possibility of selectively supressing pm events? or are there any other ideas what could help?
    greetings!

    Hi Rajeev,
    we have temporary disabled Netflow after we ran into a flapping BGP session problem one hour ago. Router killed BGP related processes due to no free CPU time.
    After disabling Netflow, the load of the RP has been decreased dramaticly from <80% to ~30%. But we can't disable Netflow at all because we need the flows to get information for our DDoS protection.
    We have now increased CPU ressources for processes:
    (no scheduler max-task-time)
    scheduler allocate 10000 4000
    CPU load is (very) high again:

  • Problem... High CPU load with HDD. Please Help

    Hello all,
    Im stuck. Ive got a MSI KA790GX which has poor HDD access/transfer, low burst rate and very high CPU load.
    As far as i know the Western Digital 640gb WD6401AALS Black should be a fast hard drive. Which according to reviews/HD Tune,
    should be:-
    Minimum 60mb/sec
    Maximum 120mb/sec
    Average 95mb/sec
    Access 12ms
    Burst 110mb/sec
    CPU 5%
    No matter what I try, i always get poor results...
    My MSI KA790GX
    Minimum 41mb/sec ~ 54mb/sec
    Maximum 104mb/sec ~ 108mb/sec
    Average 86mb/sec ~89mb/sec
    Access 12ms
    Burst 60mb/sec ~ 80mb/sec
    CPU 26% ~ 44%!!!!!!!!
    I could accept not getting the same high speed results as the review/reference, even if the burst rate sucked.
    But one of the cores goes to 50%-60% load during hdd activity. Thats just crazy!!
    I have tried...
    IDE mode, AHCI, RAID Ready, RAID Single Disk
    SATA Port 1, 2, 3, 4 + 5
    Different SATA cables
    Flashed bios, cleared bios, optimised defaults, failsafe defaults
    Windows XP 32bit, Vista 32bit, Vista 64bit. fresh installs
    MSI CD Drivers, MSI Web Drivers, AMD/ATI Web Drivers
        ... and combinations of.
    I have also tested the WD640gb Black on another older PC, with Nvidia (55?) chipset and slower (1.9ghz x2) cpu.
    Transfer rates were slightly better than my KA790GX but, Burst Rate = 115mb/sec and CPU usage = 13%.
    I also tried a Seagate 1.5tb (ST31500341AS) on both PCs,
    Nvidia chipset
    Minimum 65mb/sec
    Maximum 134mb/sec
    Average 107mb/sec
    Access 14ms
    Burst 83mb/sec
    CPU 7%
    On my MSI KA790GX
    Minimum 55mb/sec
    Maximum 120mb/sec
    Average 100mb/sec
    Access 14ms
    Burst 87mb/sec
    CPU 33%!!!!
    Could someone please please help, ive spent hours and hours on this. Its doin my head in.
    I just hope its something stupid ive missed, cos i still not used my HD4850 from christmas :-(
    Thanks.

    Not sure how to check PIO/DMA mode on a SATA device. IDE devices show DMA enabled.
    BIOS version 1.4 - 29 December 2008, and now version 1.51
    Fredrik
    I have Vista 64, but i did try XP32 and Vista32 and got similar poor results.
    I tested HDD speed with, HD Tune 2.55 and HD Tune 3.50 trial.
    No auto-start programs really, Windows clean installs + any drivers.
    Quadrifoglio Verde
    CPU @ default 2800mhz, All mem bios options to auto/defaults
    Windows Experience Index, CPU Score = 5.3
    AMD Overdrive
     Integer Computation = 8220
     Floating Point Computation = 5325
     Memory speed = 1770
     Cache Speed = 10790
     System Performance = 7403
    Bas
    I used HDTune because I could reference to other results. Whats a better program to use?
    Windows Experience Index, HDD Score = 5.9.
    But I have no reference and cant be sure of cpu load.
    Sepher
    Bios defaults to C&C and C1E off so i have tried them. Also windows power settings, balanced/high performance.
    UPDATE
    Reinstalled Vista64 but loaded the AHCI driver from the disk config screen. This seems to have stopped the high cpu usage during disk activity.
    HDTune with Windows Power settings @ High Performance,
    Min = 52mb/sec
    Max = 106mb/sec
    Ave = 88mb/sec
    Access = 12ms
    Burst = 77mb/sec
    CPU = 3.4% 
    HDTune with Windows Power settings @ Balanced
    Min = 54mb/sec
    Max = 104mb/sec
    Ave = 87mb/sec
    Access = 12ms
    Burst = 65mb/sec
    CPU = 12%
    So now transfer speed is about 10% slower than reference. But burst speed is terrible.
    I also used IBM Feature Tool to change the HDD AAM to 'performance mode' 254 as suggested elsewhere.
    Long shot as the hdd performs ok with other hardware. same results.
    Also MSI support asked me to try a newer bios, version 1.51. same results.
    Anyone know what the AMD 7-Series Chipsets Disk Performance Utility does, and should i run it in Vista64?
    Thanks for all the replies, hope i can sort this, not played any PC games since Quake 3 on my ti4600...

  • Too high cpu load with HP 6510b

    Hello guys,
    I have a very high cpu load on my laptop even if nothing despite htop is running. I guess it's a problem with acpi because when I deactivate acpi completely over the bootline I have no such problems.
    How could I fix that?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hello B,
    unluckily noacpi doesn't help but acpi=off. That seems to be the only way to stop the high load.
    Is there any patched acpi or something else?
    I also think I picked the bad revision with fan problems and some more...

  • How does the new i7 Mini behave under high CPU load?

    Did anybody test a new quad-core i7 under high CPU load, using all cores at 100% during more than 15 minutes?
    How does it behave (from a thermal point of view)?
    Is the fan loud under such load?
    Does it get as hot as a Macbook Air?
    Do it feels like you're pushing it above its design goals, or does it look well suited for 100% CPU on all cores?
    Thanks!!

  • High CPU load with Flash on Mac Leopard

    Dear Adobe,
    I am always running the latest version of the Flash plugin on my Macbook. Ever since even with the simplest Flash movies running in a browser (no matter whether Safari, Firefox, Camino, Opera, ...) the CPU load jumps oh so high the fans will spin at full speed and the CPU starts to create subtropic temperatures. Years ago I was running a Windows PC where the CPU load wasn't even close to such high CPU loads. Oh so many Apple users would very very much appreciate Flash Player being at least close to as efficient as the Windows version.
    Thanks in advance for making Flash movies more enjoyable on the Mac platform

    Adobe need to realize that once their great product with a lot of penetration into the web ad + ria market is starting loose its ground as they simply can't address ongoing issue on their poor flash plug-in performance other than on windows platform. There are a lot of flash enthusiast out there but this poor support from the Adobe doesn't help this much further. One of the reasons why other software vendors pushing for more open standard RIA platforms other than Flash based...
    Only suggestion that I have with Adobe is that if you can not get it right then, it may help to open up flash player source to the community. I am pretty sure that there are a lot of developers out there who can help out to drive better code base for the player and in turn make flash more adopted by non non ms windows user base. At the moment, I have installed "Click2Flash" and "FlashBlock" to save majority of CPU cycle on my MacBook Pro. Imagine the impact on this for future Adobe product. All online ad will slowly move away from flash based and in turn loosing entire market share it has successfully built over the years... Well must note that MS isn't much better either... MS RDP client is permanently turned off from my system, now I'm using CoRD instead..
    I sincerely hope to see some major performance improvements in near future.

  • Which will cause a higher cpu load, the sampler instrument or the original audio tracks?

    I have some piano that I wanted to loop. I had no problem using the convert track to sampler instrument.  My question is about CPU performance. Which will cause a higher cpu load, the sampler instrument or the original audio tracks?

    Hi Mesaboogiewes,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Ableton.com recommends disabling Energy Saver, fullscreen mode, and Exposé. I would recommend putting the 1Gb of RAM, you will find a better result. I suggest going to the Ableton.com website and looking for more troubleshooting issues.
    I hope that helps,

    Thanks for your help!

  • Safari and a strange high cpu load

    I have noticed that recently when i start Safari my cpu load starts to get crazy.
    CPU load on one core reaches 92%and falls to 10%, then another core gets 90% load and falls to normal. It is happening continuously. My MBPro get extremely hot and loud.
    Everything gets back to normal when I quit or force quit Safari.
    Any ideas what is going on?
    Other browsers like Firefox and Opera act normally.
    Safari Version 3.0.4 (5523.10.6), Mac OS X 10.5.1 all updates till today.
    EDIT: I've just done Empty Cache in the browser and the problem disappeared.

    Ok, I found out, why I had a high cpu utilization.
    It wasn't Safari 5's fault, but I had a big host file for blocking ads.
    After removing these ~15000 lines in /etc/hosts everything is fine again

  • X-Fi + 2 GFX-Cards = high CPU-Load, slow Mouse, hanging system

    >X-Fi + 2 GFX-Cards = high CPU-Load, slow Mouse, hanging systemA Hey guys,
    I'm running 2 GF 8800 GTs (PCIe .) cards on a MSI Eclipse SLI board. My Audigy2 ZS PCI runned fine in this system.
    I just replaced the Audigy by a PCIe X-Fi (EMU20K2 audio processor - not the xtreme audio from MSI).
    Now I'm dealing with the following issue:
    - System startup is slow
    - in Windows, Mouse is slow, stuttering
    - high CPU-Load
    - very slow system response
    !!! Attention !!! I had this problems allready at the st boot with the X-Fi, when the driver from creative wasn't installed (the card was recognized as "HD Audio" bei Windows 7). Installing the drivers didn't help.
    If I install only one graphics card, the system runns fine and I can use the X-Fi and it's Software without problems.
    If I replace the X-Fi by the PCIe Xtreme Audio from MSI, System runns fine.
    If I use Win XP with the two GFX cards and the X-Fi, System runns fine.
    Can you help me?

    User....

    Hi there,
    got the same problem if i use my two Nvidia GTX260.
    My system:
    Asus P6T
    I7 920 @ 3,8GHz
    2GB ram
    Gigabyte GTX260 OC Edition
    Nvidia GTX260
    X-Fi XtremeGamer
    -System (Win7x64) takes ~0min to start.
    -Stuttering mouse, keyboard everything >.<
    Deactivating the onboard sound doesnt help.
    Newest Nvidia and Creative driver too =(
    The system runs fine without the X-FI and two GTX260 no errors ect...
    One GTX260 runs also fine with the X-FI
    But two graphic cards and the X-FI..... **bleep** =/
    I use debian as my main OS and it run still fine with both graphic cards and the x-fi...
    so i think its just a driver problem.
    Hope it will be fixed soon =/
    If someone have any sugestions...please help us.
    Greetings from Germany also =D

  • DMVPN phase 3 - scalability - nhrp generates high cpu load

    Hey all.
    Been running into a scalability issues with DMVPN. Mainly caused (as I see it) by NHRP.
    Scenario:
    IOS-SLB-based DMVPN solution in a dual-cloud setup. Practically it's 2 separate solutions with spokes having 2 tunnels (one in each cloud). See attachment sketch. We're running a phase 3 hierarchy design (trying at least)
    Spoke routers:
    - 2500 routers in a mixture of c871, c881, c2800, c2900. Need to scale to at least twice that.
    - Spoke-to-spoke is heavily used
    Farm routers:
    - Cisco 7201 with VAM2+. Around 1 router per 350 spokes (+1 for secondary tunnel)
    Superhub:
    - ASR 1004 (one for primary and one for secondary dmvpn-cloud).
    We're not running any IPSEC between the farms and the superhubs. Just regular unencrypted DMVPN (mGRE).
    Problem:
    - NHRP is causing high CPU load on the ASRs. With around 2000 spokes up and running on DMVPN the CPU is overloaded with NHRP traffic. We're talking like 60-70% load caused by the NHRP process alone!
    We're using 'ip nhrp interest' on all the spokes - and farms. We're in need of the spoke-to-spoke functionality so we allowing LAN-segments of our customers but denying everything else.
    Solutions?
    1. Turning off all NHRP resolutions? Basically remove any directly spoke-spoke communications (denying everything on the interest list). We can't go there since a lot of our customers are in dire need for directly spoke-spoke connectivity (due to latency). Haven't tested that it will actually give the much needed scalable solution either (we're facing around 5000 spokes in the next 2-3 years).
    2. Chopping the DMVPN solution up in lesser VPN-blocks. This will administratively be a nightmare.
    3. ?
    Will really appreciate if anyone have a input here. It's really hard finding anything about a LARGE scale phase3 design on the web. Everything I find seems to mix stuff from small-scale phase 2 and 3 - making it rather messy cooking reciept for a small breakfast while I need a 7 course perfect dinner
    When will Cisco come with an updated design guide btw?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for your quick reply.
    Our ASRs (rp1) are acting as BGP RR while the farm routers are setup as RR clients.
    We haven't tried connecting spokes directly to the ASRs but we have seen the same symptoms on the 7613s (sup720) and the 7200-platform.
    Earlier the 7600 had the same role the ASRs have today. We were expecting that the ASRs should be doing "a better job" in terms of CPU load but we were wrong (NHRP generated around 10% more cpu load on the ASRs in comparison).
    We concluded that the ASRs have a less optimized OS (coding) being rather new and all. Further we're not all happy about the stability of the platform (clear ip nhrp or taking a shutdown on the tunnel in the current situation will crash the router. 15.1(2)S1 and 15.1(3)S0a adv ip services). Haven't made a TAC case of it yet but will (has to be a bug as I see it since the 7200/7600 is handling this just fine).
    Due to what I mentioned above I don't dare to debug the problem in production time and have to wait until the next scheduled maintenance window for some decent debug output (24. Oct).
    We've contacted Cisco AS for assistance since it's hard to find local consultants (Norway) with enough knowledge of such scenario.
    I just hope it's a config-issue and not a design issue, but we're willing to to whatever for this to scale to the thousands.

  • Flash causes very high CPU load (including high Xorg load)

    Hello everybody,
    this is my first message. I'm an Arch user since a few months, and I'm pretty sure this is the distribution I'll stick to - I pratically love everything about it, especially its simpleness. It's the first Linux that doesn't scare me away with tons of configuration files scattered around dozens of different locations. I've already gotten quite a number of things fixed by myself without even looking at the forum or wiki.
    Well, it seems most of these statements can be found in most first forum posts, so I'll stop to bore you...
    The problem: Playing flash videos or animations causes incredible processor load: Even youtube takes a whole CPU core (or even a little more), top shows around 80% for Xorg and around 20-30% for Firefox (a little less with Opera). I'm on Arch64 with XFCE, Athlon X2 4600+, NVidia 8200 chipset (which has severe driver problems anyway; I'm using the latest NVidia beta driver). I'd try the open source nvidia driver, but (it seems that) there's no support for my chipset yet.
    Currently I'm using Adobe's Flash64 alpha, before that I used various versions fo the nspluginwrapper. 32-bit Flash also caused high CPU load, but it wasn't that much and it may have been related to nspluginwrapper rather than anything else; however I have got the impression that things became even worse with the switch to the x64 alpha (performance-wise; on the other hand, it at least loads faster and doesn't crash anymore). Like said before, youtube takes one core, but it mostly works ok then, but videos with higher resolutions that youtube's are practically impossible to watch (except when there is very little movement in the film). Neither Flash hardware acceleration on nor off makes any difference.
    I've already read half of the web, searched in forums, wikis, etc., but didn't find anybody with the same problem. When Flash64 was released and people were reporting good improvements, I was hoping it would be the same for me...
    What I'm looking for is suggestions of things to try... I'm out of ideas what to try and where to look. It just seems strange that I seem to have problems that others don't...
    Thanks for reading and for any comments.

  • HELP! Computer shutting down while loading FL studio Plugins! High CPU load?!

    Good day everyone. I am in dire need of some help concerning my Hp Pavilion p6-2330 . I am a producier and I use a programmed called FL studio.
    I've never had this problem before but now it happens almost everytime. When I open a project with a lot of VST plug-ins or a new VST plug-in it just immeadiatly prompts windows "shutting down". I am not sure if its exclusive to FL studio or a High CPU load in general.
    I've tried a lot. Replaced my PSU. Blow out the dust from my hardive throuroughly. I really doubt its a overheating problem because it only happens when opening a project with a lot of vst plugins or opening a new vst on top. and my CPU isnt hot
    Is there a crash report i can look at to see the reason its shutting down? What can i do?!

    Hi,
    The following link shows specs of your computer:
       http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03499435
    given "only happens when opening a project with a lot of vst plugins or opening a new vst on top." I think the cheapest option now is to increase RAM from 6GB to say 16GB (using information from the above link). Before goinng out to buy more RAM, you may want to insrease system page file first (similar for Windows 8.1):
