MySQL slowness in SMP

Hello,

I have dual xeon server with 2 GB of ram.

FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #0: Tue Apr 24 11:32:50 GMT 2007
arabian_at_noc:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NOC  i386

Which runs heavily MySQL with MyISAM, the problem I have it maxes out
one cpu, and doesn't use the other one.

Could someone tell me what shall I do to make MySQL runs faster? it
already uses libthr, cache beside MySQL optimized, I would like to use
the power of both cpus.


last pid: 79040;  load averages:  1.00,  1.01,  1.00
                                    up 16+16:54:20  08:04:55
39 processes:  2 running, 37 sleeping
CPU states: 26.9% user,  0.0% nice, 23.3% system,  0.0% interrupt, 49.8% idle
Mem: 556M Active, 1154M Inact, 198M Wired, 93M Cache, 112M Buf, 3072K Free
Swap: 5120M Total, 16K Used, 5120M Free

  PID USERNAME    THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU COMMAND
90293 mysql        19 100    0   434M   187M ucond  1 176.6H 95.95% mysqld

Is upgrading to FreeBSD 7.0 current and using ULE would make MySQL
runs in this dual xeon box?
