mysqld overloading cpu of VPS
Hi bros
I have a VPS 512mb (Burst 2GB) with Kloxo installed and hosting few sites on it with not much traffic

I am facing high cpu load for the last few days and seems mysqld is overloading the cpu

Any suggestion will be appreciated
Regards
Rizwan

Have you checked the status of the tasks and queries MySQL is working on? Perhaps a query deadlock?

Code:
mysql> show processlist;
mysql> show full processlist;

Any relevant info in mysql error log, or mysql log?

Was this DB instance running fine in the past and it suddenly started eating up the whole CPU?

How many cores does your processor have?

Thanks for your reply
Actually I started happening suddenly, it was running fine past

I have checked the processes and found one process in the state of (Copying to tmp table) of a script creating cpu load

1694 | db_user | localhost | db_name | Query | 1 | Copying to tmp table | SELECT tv.vid FROM `tag_video` AS tv, `tags` AS t WHERE tv.tag

These processes keep on increasing from 1 to 5 or more and cpu goes to above 200
