Hi, I'm having a problem where the sme server's website serving is gradually slowing down to the point where serving something like SquirrelMail becomes to slow to be of any use. The computer is a Celeron 500 with 64 MB Ram so it should be able to handle the very light traffic that we have (3 users max at a time). The only anomoly i can see is that it has a 1.2GB hard drive as this was taken from the old server and not upgraded. Otherwise the rest of the equipment is relatively new.
I get the following on a ps -A. There are alot of mysqld processes running and i'm wondering if perhaps they're not terminating properly after use and causing the machine to gradually slow down in this way.
If anyone could give me some pointers on how i could further investigate this problem i would be greatly apreciative.
Here is the ps output:
