Mr-Y

ok i put a ticket in, but not 2 seconds after i did i found the problem for me this addon (SOS30) Number of Users per Skin v1.0.0 was a major factor in slowing the loadtimes of my board, dont wanna ruffle feathers, just thought best to post my probs and answers. thanks all for reading.

HI, going to check to make sure i did everything for the upgrade then i think i will report the issue thanks again :)

Gonna try and see if the recommendations below will make any difference unless anyone has any other ideas ;) My IPB is 5.5 years old and has gone from v1.3 to 3.03 in that time if it makes any difference.

This script will still suggest raising the join_buffer_size when ANY joins not using indexes are found.

Hi and thanks for replying, i will get on that straight away, i will report back cause it may help others also :)

did i miss something ? no-one have anything to say on the above ?

Does anyone know or can explain what the below is ? Its from the mysql process list mysql cpu = 25.3 mem = 13.4 If i kill the process it comes back straight away and builds the load up It doesn't finish either, my IPB v3.03 is dreadfully slow, at least 20secs load time on any page in the board However the test board (same version) is not slow hope somebody can help :) Process 14303 attached - interrupt to quit select(12, [11], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [11]) fcntl64(11, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 accept(11, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@}, [2]) = 25 fcntl64(11, F_SETFL, O_RDWR) = 0 getsockname(25, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/mysql.soc"}, [18]) = 0 fcntl64(25, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY) = 0 fcntl64(25, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR) fcntl64(25, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 setsockopt(25, SOL_IP, IP_TOS, [8], 4) = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported) futex(0x86a2024, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 1 futex(0x86a2020, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 1 futex(0x869ffe0, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 1 select(12, [11], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [11]) fcntl64(11, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 accept(11, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@}, [2]) = 25 fcntl64(11, F_SETFL, O_RDWR) = 0 My server info also Server Information Processor Information Processor #1 Vendor: GenuineIntel Processor #1 Name: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.06GHz Processor #1 speed: 3082.796 MHz Processor #1 cache size: 512 KB Processor #2 Vendor: GenuineIntel Processor #2 Name: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.06GHz Processor #2 speed: 3082.796 MHz Processor #2 cache size: 512 KB Memory Information Memory: 1032692k/1047488k available (1884k kernel code, 14108k reserved, 759k data, 188k init, 129984k highmem) System Information Linux server.wyredbytes.com 2.6.9-55.0.12.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Nov 2 11:19:08 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Physical Disks hda: ST3120022A, ATA DISK drive hda: max request size: 1024KiB hda: 234441648 sectors (120034 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=16383/255/63, UDMA(100) hda: cache flushes supported Current Memory Usage total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1033572 891356 142216 0 20132 510700 -/+ buffers/cache: 360524 673048 Swap: 2096472 6072 2090400 Total: 3130044 897428 2232616 Current Disk Usage Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 108G 11G 93G 11% / /dev/hda1 122M 17M 100M 14% /boot none 505M 0 505M 0% /dev/shm /usr/tmpDSK 485M 11M 449M 3% /tmp /tmp 485M 11M 449M 3% /var/tmp my.cnf if it helps # The MySQL server [mysqld] #port = 3306 socket = /tmp/mysql.sock skip-locking key_buffer = 256M max_allowed_packet = 256M table_cache = 256 sort_buffer_size = 1M read_buffer_size = 1M read_rnd_buffer_size = 4M myisam_sort_buffer_size = 64M join_buffer_size = 256 low_priority_updates=1 concurrent_insert=2 thread_cache = 8 query_cache_size= 5M tmp_table_size = 16M # Try number of CPU's*2 for thread_concurrency thread_concurrency = 2 myisam_data_pointer_size = 7 log-slow-queries = mysqllog long_query_time = 5 log-queries-not-using-indexes log-slow-admin-statements # Don't listen on a TCP/IP port at all.
