Jehiah, Thank you for providing the information. I actually started with a large memory cache of 1024 and over the course of the last few days, I moved it down to 128 MB, but will move it up a notch or two. I see what you are saying. I am still in the process of evaluating the best possible configuration for the MySQL. My database size is approximately about 128 MB.
