Hello Friends,
I've some performance problem, when I do sum() functions on my tables it 
took 5-7 minutes to return the results.. here is my story:
I've table with 2461566 rows here is my table structure:
mysql> describe imp_log;
+--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+

      |

      |

      |

      |
| browser_os   | varchar(100) |      |     |                     |           
      |
| impressions  | int(11)      |      |     | 0                   |           
      |
| cookiestring | varchar(128) |      | MUL |                     |           
      |
| status       | char(1)      |      |     | N                   |           
      |
+--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+
the problem is I want to sum the impressions from advt_id number 17 (this 
advt_id has 855517 records on imp_log table).. I want to sum the 
impressions..here is my query:
select sum(impressions) impr from imp_log where camp_id='17';
but it took 5 minutes for me to do the query... but if I use 
count(impressions) it only tooks under 10 sec
mysql> select count(impressions) from imp_log;
+--------------------+
| count(impressions) |
+--------------------+
|            2461566 |
+--------------------+
1 row in set (0.06 sec)
How to optimize the query ? the strange things is MySQL only uses a little 
of cpu time when I did sum() functions...Can I force MySQL to use all the 
cpu time ?

I uses Linux Mandrake 7.0 with MySQL 4.0.0 alpha-max-log
here is the MySQL variables...
