why not use MySQL 3.X again? Also, you can choose in the /etc/myconf.conf ( might be different or I might be wrong all together) how many DAEMONS you want to have started.
At least with my install of MySQL, there is are example .cnf files, one of which is my-small.cnf. Supposedly, it will limit the resources that mysql will take. You just have to copy it to /etc and rename it my.cnf. I haven't looked at it in depth enought to know if you can further limit the resources however.
