Please, send your my.cnf file content, the results of show table status; in the problematic database and EXPLAIN results for typical query that becomes slow after reboot. This may have something to do with filesystem cache, if your tables are MyISAM and your queries do not use indexes.

Please send me my.cnf files and your hardware configuration details. Aside. - Please disable the log parameter for slow queries - Check the max_allowed_packet size

My my.cnf was previously attached to this ticket. As you can see, log_slow_queries was already disabled. I've tried increasing 16M key_buffer and max_allowed packet to 128M to no avail (also, as mentioned in my original report, after a re-import of all data, things perform fine with the 16M settings).

Marc, honestly, I would not exclude a hardware issue here. How old is the machine? Did I understand the following right: yesterday it run fast today you rebooted and it run slow today evening you rebooted again and it run fast again? This really sounds like a hardware device is dying.

Hello Susanne, Thank you for the suggestion but I do not expect this to be a hardware problem. The performance issues *only* occur when running MySQL queries. No other software experiences performance problems nor crashes. Honestly, "This sounds like a hardware device is dying" sounds like taking the easy way out. My previous detailed feedback shows in the output of the 'explain' commands that in one case an index is used whereas in the other case it is not. This should be a clear indicator that the problem is software-based. I'll gladly provide you with any further troubleshooting information needed- just let me know what you need. I'm just trying to do my small part to make MySQL the best product it can possibly be. It would be great if this sentiment is shared by the people maintaining it!

Hello Marc, sorry, I oversaw that there was a difference in EXPLAIN. Anyway, I also saw that you are using MySQL 5.0.51a. This is a very old version. We have had lots of indexing problems in past which we already fixed. Maybe your problem is one of the side effect of other former bugs. Our actual 5.0 version is 5.0.91 Our actual supported version is MySQL 5.1 and the actual version here is 5.1.50. I would recommend that you first will update to 5.0.91 or even upgrade to 5.1. There is a high chance that this will already fix your problem.
