Ok, reread all your posts and see your mysql version. It's strange that you say it works ok for awhile and then the locked processes start to appear. There must be something that triggers this. You might want to try running myisamchk -e on all of your data files to see if there is any other corruption going on. Then, you might try OPTIMIZING all of your tables as well. You can do these from the mysql command prompt (make sure the mysql server is down when doing this):

SHOW TABLES; (this will show you the names of all of your tables)

OPTIMIZE TABLE tablename; (for each table)
