Did you run EXPLAIN on this query to see what it is actually doing?

What you are doing how is selecting all rows from the last hour,
sorting them by mobid and hour, and then DISTINCT filters out al 
duplicates.

Sorting on mobid is therefor useless, DISTINCT still has to check all 
rows.

Sorting on mobid and hour will take a long time if there is no index for 
it,
so if you don't have an index on the mobid and hour together then you 
should probably try that.


But, see what EXPLAIN tells you first.

Vincent.
