What was happening precisely? System time would rise during periods of peak demand, and the system would quickly fall behind on its workload of queries. However, I have some hardware I can dedicate to this, and only run the one MySQL data set which exhibits this problem. That should be enough of a workload reduction to allow the server to keep up even with all the above options turned on. -nick > >> Also, it can take a while for it to become clear that the deadlock >> has >> occurred -- usually our monitoring picks it up when replication falls >> behind.
