The above sounds like you have a problem that some query locks a table
for a long time and during this you get a lot of new connection that
has to wait until this query is ready.
While this is happening, 'mysqladmin proc' should give you information
about the reason for this. One can usually fix this by prioritize the
used locks or by adding more indexes to make the slow query faster.
The MySQL manual has some information about this in the section:
'Table locking issues'

We shouldn't do this generally, but we could probably add an option
that one can enable with mysql_options() to do this.
The main question is what to profile that the 3.23 server doesn't
already do and where to log it.
