Well my server was pretty lite until mysql was installed. It's a fresh install on Arch linux.

And, well according to the top command it's using 30% of my possible memory which basically means about 300mb!

Any idea why this may be happening I haven't done anything with it yet other than basic things like root password and disabling remote access.

Let me ask you a stupid question. Is it being "accessed" already? Or is it just running without being accessed? (the process)

It's just running, I haven't even set up phpmyadmin or anything. There are no tables or users other than the defaults.

Can you please uninstall it or kill the process? Just to check if it's really mysql.

I did that and when mysql is stopped my total memory usage is 12-15mb.

I look into that after I try the recommendations from https://github.com/rackerhacker/MySQLTuner-perl.

Figured it couldn't hurt.

Okay, I hope that works for you.

Screw SQL and use PostGreSQL or Flatfile databases??

Replace the contents of /etc/my.cnf (or wherever it is on Arch) with http://pastebin.com/RDNySyxk. It's what I'm using on the VPS running the MyBB forum in my signature and the entire server is using 47 MB of RAM.

I did think about it because I see no reason why a default install would use so much ram .

I'll try that dmmcintyre. Although I have to start over as I was getting pissed and decided to start over as nginx decided to stop working correctly (was fine before the reset so I don't get it).
