I know.
But the problem in our two current cases definetely is Apache/PHP, not 
MySQL.
That's why I thought it was interesting that Georg had equal load on 
both apache and mysql.

Ok, maybe I didn't make myself clear enough...
Put Apache & Mysql on one machine... big problem.
Seperate both, still big problem.
Set up 4 Apaches all accessing the same Mysql Server, Problem gone.

Of course it is faster to have Apache and mysql on the same machine 
(thats pure logic :)) but I try to identify the common bottleneck.

So I raise my hand and say:
Apache 1
Mysql  0

Georg says
Apache 1
Mysql  1

Anyone else? :)
