Hi,
I'm having a problem with a new machine running Mysql version 4.0.18
on the AMD64 version of Mandrake 10.0. The new machine has got 64bit
AMD processor and 2GB of RAM.
Nearly all queries(updates are especially slow) are running 20/30 or
more times slower than on an inferior(32 bit processor, 1.5GB RAM)
machine runnning Mysql 3.23.56 on mandrake 9.0.
As far as I can tell mysql is configured correctly for the power of
the machine.
The my.cnf file looks like this:
# This is for large system with memory of 1G-2G where the system runs
mainly
# MySQL.
#
# You can copy this file to
# /etc/my.cnf to set global options,
# mysql-data-dir/my.cnf to set server-specific options (in this
# installation this directory is /var/lib/mysql) or
# ~/.my.cnf to set user-specific options.
#
# One can in this file use all long options that the program supports.
# If you want to know which options a program support, run the program
# with --help option.
# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients
[client]
#password = your_password
port = 3306
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

Does anyone know any reason why the new machine is so rubbish??
Thanks in advance
