Some more information would be very helpful. My first questions are: have you looked at what else might be happening on the server? was this a remote access situation where the problem could be on the network connection? Were there any other processes that may have been eating up all your CPU? I have mysql 4.1.7 running without a problem, with a very large database. I also have the perl-DBD-mySQL module, etc. I'm happy to help any way I can. michael. -- Michael Weisman "chaos is merely a function of the granularity of the sample" On Friday 01 April 2005 12:55, Chris Hammond wrote: > Greetings all! > > I have built a new server with MySQL and have noticed that before even > doing anything > to it I found that the MySQL logins were much slower than the 4.0 server > I used prior to it. > After moving data over to it, the application, (JFFNMS) when it would > login to it would take > forever getting data from it.
