High CPU Load After Update to v4.3
-
I run a busy high traffic and high community participation site, so MySQL has always run very high on my server. But after upgrading to v4.3 (no other change), my CPU load tripled, and it’s crippling the server, causing frequent crashes and generally degraded responsiveness.
The site is hosted on a high end dedicated server with 4 SSD drive in hardware RAID. I spoke with my host and they assured me no changes have been done to the server, and all server side applications are up to date.
Problems started after the update to v4.3, No other change whatsoever has been done to neither the WP installation, nor the server itself.
My log shows high http connection count, which use abnormally high CPU never seen before:
