I know it's a but complex, but this was all behind it. OK, that was very important since you're changing defaults. It looks like myisam is doing huge numbers of concurrent reads of the same file which is running into exclusive locking in the kernel (vnode interlock and lockbuilder mtxpool). Does it not do any caching of the data in userspace but relies on querying into the kernel every time? innodb doesn't have this behaviour. Kris
