    Whenever these run I think it's affecting sites on the box and causing high diskio?

    Any idea what we can do? or to disable it?

    Hello :)

    This is likely stems from the following option that's configured in "Tweak Settings":

    Use INFORMATION_SCHEMA to acquire MySQL® disk usage

    Per it's description:

    Using INFORMATION_SCHEMA ensures that disk usage by MySQL tables is included in totals. However, enabling this option may cause a significant drop in performance as MySQL may become unresponsive until data collection is complete. Disabling this option causes the system to query the filesystem directly, potentially excluding disk space used by some database tables. Note: If you use a remote MySQL server, you must turn this setting On in order to calculate MySQL disk usage.

    You may want to disable this option to see if it helps improve performance.

    Thank you.

    It is disabled already - saw that a few months ago and tried it. Never made a difference.

    You may want to run a MySQL tuner to help determine which modifications to make to your /etc/my.cnf to help improve MySQL performance.

    Thank you.
