Utilization of multiple processors?

Hi...

I have MySql 4.1.14 running on a quad-proc x86/linux machine; I downloaded the straight rpm from the website.. I've noticed when I'm executing my queries that the load seems to be carried entirely on one processor. i.e. when I run top and watch the processes and cpu load distribution, one of the processors will be running at 98% and the other 3 almost completely idle.

I figured if you have a 2 or 3 table join, it might be able to utilize the other processors to help the throughput, but it doesn't appear to be the case.

Is there a configuration option I need to check, or build from source with a flag? Or when you submit a sql statement, is the work going to stick with 1 thread per connection and likely one processor?

Thanks
_Mark
