horrible thrashing with sql.log

[Hakuin]

Hello,
I installed visual web developer 2005 express, and started to use it
with mysql/odbc driver. It happens that when I open the database pane,
and make some operations with the sql manager, the disk starts to make a
horrible and prolonged sound of swapping. The app stucks for many
seconds. I checked the disk activity with filemon, and there's a file
sql.log getting a huge and nonsense activity. The same happened when
trying to install sqlserver express, which I gave up.
Is it common experience? Can I do something to change it? I deleted the
file sql.log, but it was recreated, with same behaviour.

This is a tiny portion of the log
