Just as an FYI, I have seen one of my systems do over 700 forks/sec. I wouldn't think that a server process like MYSQL would be doing forks at that rate. However, I know some database software operates in client/server mode where the process that gets spawned as the server process only does things like manage connection and termination requests. Have you considered the possibility that the process doing most of the database work is a process running under the ID of the user initiating the database connection request? Anyway, I have noticed some strange behavior with top and ps at times. It is possible you are running into a bug. -- C. Linus Hicks <lhicks@xxxxxxxxx>
