No.
Is there even a problem? MySQL is probably using CPU because it's doing stuff.
Also, I would expect MySQL to use a lot of MySQL. Now if MySQL was using a lot of Postgres, that would be cause for concern.
Unmanaged databases for critical env systems isn't a good thing if you don't have enought knowledge about system administration.
Have a look at managedes databases (DBaaS), like AWS, DO, or Scaleway offers.
Wait a min I do not even know the basics
I need server admin but let me ask this
is this load average high for a 4 core VPS on 8 gig ram?
1 Min Load Avg: 20.13
5 Min Load Avg: 7.87
15 Min Load Avg: 3.83
What about mysql replication? master? slave? not an option?
Did not understand. It is an xen vps
Yikes! It's C@Cost all over again.
I've already pointed you to two very useful scripts, plus install/run munin for a couple of days, to give you some visual clues as to what is wrong.
Get yourself a techie. You sound horribly irrelevant.
I used to work for an agency that specialized in fixing slow webapps so fixing "MySQL is slow" can be anything from tweaking a few config settings to a complete rewrite of the app running on it.
I have spent an entire workweek writing a single query before and got very high praise for the results.
I am on this forum for the hosting of my brother's hobby sites, my work is not quite low end
I work as a DBA. "The database is slow" can be anything from a network problem to the user forgetting to turn on his monitor.
What raindog said, even if you're not a technically proficient you should really make an effort to describe the problem better.
Obvious thing not asked, what app is using MySQL, is it something common like Wordpress or a shopping cart? Or is it something custom made only one person/group would understand without reading through all the code?
Try a web search for "[high cpu] [your app name]" if you're using a well known app.
