Without any details as to your MySQL version, database size and 
structure and (in particular) the nature of the SQL being executed, it 
is virtually impossible to suggest ways to improve.

The SQL statements being executed are most likely an area which can be 
improved, from what it sounds. A SELECT can include lots of elements, as 
in no JOINs or 15 LEFT JOINs. 15 LEFT JOINs happening twice a second 
over a period of 2.5 hours *could* be the issue.

Another question to ask is do you have all foreign relationships 
(CONSTRAINTS) properly defined?

Perhaps you can send a sample SELECT statement?
