I have 2 slaves and one is working as expected. The other slave is extermely slow while executing the "update" statements. The insert and deletes are fast. I used "check table tbl_name" to see if any MyISAM table was corrupt. Both the slaves are MyISAM only.

I am using (AWS ec2 instance) ext3 for the fast slave and xfs for the the other. Is that the reason why the updates are taking time?

You are at the mercy of what AWS thinks is a good config for your part of a computer. Post more details; maybe there is something that can be fixed. – Rick James May 29 '12 at 21:24

You can compare both slaves performance using Percona utilities mentioned below:

  • pt-heartbeat measures replication lag on a MySQL server. You can use it to update a master or monitor a replica. If possible, MySQL connection options are read from your .my.cnf file.
  • pt-table-checksum performs an online replication consistency check by executing checksum queries on the master, which produces different results on replicas that are inconsistent with the master.
