I'm using Mongrel on my Windows XP box, and periodically CPU usage jumps to 100% and stays there.
The gems versions are:
mongrel (1.1.5) mysql (2.7.3)
The Rails version is 2.3.2.
This occurs pretty often, but since it doesn't actually hurts any development experience (and doesn't happen on the production server) I haven't devoted much time to trying to find the cause.
I was thinking about using pure Ruby MySQL driver - but had no success there, since it's really slow and seems unsupported as of now.
I know the server process has a few threads running but since I'm on Windows it seems to be not that easy to figure out what the threads are doing exactly.
Probably someone experienced the similar problems already or can at least enlighten me on how to get the thread stack on Windows.
Thanks in advance, Evgeniy
