My website seems to be very slow to load and goes down for the past 1 or 2 months. I'm running it on a dedicated server and it used to be all fine until just recently. When i login to the root for the server and go to mysql process list i see a lot of same processes. Here is an example: Query 121 Locked UPDATE photo SET total_views=total_views+1, last_view_date=NOW() WHERE photo_id='495' Query 116 Locked SELECT photo_server_url,photo_ext,l_width,l_height,t_width,t_height,s_width,s_height FROM photo WHER Query 109 Locked SELECT photo_server_url,photo_ext,l_width,l_height,t_width,t_height,s_width,s_height FROM photo WHER Query 97 Locked SELECT photo_server_url,photo_ext,l_width,l_height,t_width,t_height,s_width,s_height FROM photo WHER After a while if i dont restart my services i get hundreds of those statements...all of them say locked..what does that mean?
