Today i noticed that the pages aren't as quickly served as normal. Just wanted to let you know guys before this might get out of hand because i like coming in here
MySQL seems to have some memory fragmentation problems. Did a quick restart of the mysqld process (not the whole server).
When I restart my db the whole site is down for about a minute. Not a problem for my tiny little site(s). But in your case you must loose a few visitors, do you have a backup process running or you just shutdown for a few seconds? FFMG
