Noticed

  PID  PPID %MEM %CPU CMD
  662     1  5.5  0.1 /usr/sbin/mysqld

I don’t recall seeing the MySQL daemon running on the Stretch version of R4R.

Is this a PiOS or R4R process?
Is it part of the Apache server?
Does R4R use MySQL for something?

Sorry I missed it …

MySQL is pre-installed on R4R because there are a couple of projects that make use of it.

you can remove it and get that 0.1% back without affecting anything

Cool. I won’t remove it, just going to turn it off until needed.

Thanks, it was strange seeing 25-30 DB listeners and I couldn’t see any user records.

It would be interesting to know what needs a MySQL database on R4R.
