What are your mysql memory settings?  70MB may be low for all we know.
It's definitely low for my machines :) And what units are "3000" in? 
KB can't be right, since mysql will always take more than 3MB of
memory.  Important settings include:

key_buffer
sort_buffer_size
read_buffer_size
read_rnd_buffer_size
myisam_sort_buffer_size
thread_cache
query_cache_size
