Unless you manage the script the user is using and you wrote the MySQL queries they're executing there's very likely little you can do short of perhaps making sure your MySQL is optimized for your environment. You'd probably want to get in contact with the customer and advise them of their usage and ask them to optimize - if they can't do it, there's not really any way you could do it unless you want to update/manage their script for them.

Hello :)

It's really not a good idea to attempt to kill database processes as a method for reducing usage. Instead, you may want to consider suspending the account and restarting MySQL if you want to ensure it's disabled. The following thread is useful for obtaining information on tuning your MySQL:

Thank you.
