How about a RAM disk? I don't know of any for Linux but they must exist.
Load the whole shebang into the RAM disk and then run it as normal from
there instead of your HDD. You may want a cron job that periodically dumps
the whole lot onto the HDD for backup purposes.

Hello,
I've got a mysql database(3.23) on a very slow disk, the database is only
50mb in size but the harddisk seems to be the real bottleneck here.
The linux box where mysql is running on has 640 megabytes of ram. the
database would fit into the ram with no problems.
Is there an option to have your entire db in ram, (constantly updating the
slower db on disk)?
I know this gives dataloss if a powerout happens.. but this isn't a issue
really.
regards
Johan Geuze
