 If you are using some functionality that is very new in MySQL, you can
 try to run `mysqld' with the -skip-new (which disables all new,
 potentially unsafe functionality) or with -safe-mode which disables a
 lot of optimization that may cause problems. See  crashing.
 
 If `mysqld' doesn't want to start, you should verify that you don't
 have any `my.cnf' files that interfere with your setup! You can check
 your `my.cnf' arguments with `mysqld --print-defaults' and avoid using
 them by starting with `mysqld --no-defaults ...'.
 
 If `mysqld' starts to eat up CPU or memory or if it `hangs,' you can
 use `mysqladmin processlist status' to find out if someone is executing
 a query that takes a long time. It may be a good idea to run
 `mysqladmin -i10 processlist status' in some window if you are
 experiencing performance problems or problems when new clients can't
 connect.
 
 The command `mysqladmin debug' dumps some information about locks in
 use, used memory and query usage to the MySQL log file. This may help
 solve some problems. This command also provides some useful information
 even if you haven't compiled MySQL for debugging!
 
 If the problem is that some tables are getting slower and slower you
 should try to optimize the table with `OPTIMIZE TABLE' or `myisamchk'.
 See  database-administration. You should also check the slow
 queries with `EXPLAIN'.
 
 You should also read the OS-specific section in this manual for
 problems that may be unique to your environment. See 
 operating-system-specific-notes.
