All good ideas and I'll be sure to implement them later.

I'm not with you you here.
I'm drawing statistic for the my users on a per user basis in real-time,

Hi Merlin,

This was just an example. All queries have slowed down. Could it be that
I've reached some cut-off and now my disk is thrashing?

Currently the load looks like this:
Cpu0 : 96.8% us, 1.9% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.3% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 1.0% si
Cpu1 : 97.8% us, 1.6% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.3% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.3% si
Cpu2 : 96.8% us, 2.6% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.3% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.3% si
Cpu3 : 96.2% us, 3.2% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.3% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.3% si
