MySQL server not fully utilized; threads_running is lesser than 2
问题 I am running MySql 5.6 and I noticed that the CPU utilization never crosses 50% on an m1.large aws instance, when I benchmark the server (a few hundred queries executed in parallel over a period of time). I have set the thread_cache variable to 50 and max_connections 500. When I execute the following commands from shell, mysqladmin -u root -ppassword -r -i 1 ext | grep Threads_created I notice that Threads created never crosses 3 mysqladmin -u root -ppassword -r -i 1 ext | grep Threads
