depends on how the SQL tables are indexed, how the server is configured etc etc - certainly I've got some very complex queries that upon benchmarking against a million entries can run in less than 0.00 (ie MySQL basic counter in seconds isnt good enough to measure ;-) ) but if you want to take your data, then cache it in memory rather than query it.....well, that sounds much like having it in memory and not in a database at all - ie 'fastusers' and the such...rather than a database as we know it. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
