It's entirely likely that you have a query that takes several minutes to run, then is stored in query cache for the next 50,000 iterations of the query. Have you observed this same behavior without the query cache enabled (it also looks like the bug mentioned in the second link - the one that pertains to the 5.0.x branch of mysql - has to do with an overly large query cache)? Based on that post, I'd guess that your next action would be to disable the query cache and determine from there if it's a slow query or actually the bug in MySQL. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
