I am experiencing extreme slowness performing a query in which 2 rows are returned hanging in the "sending data" status.
Performing an index only query such as SELECT COUNT(*) is extremely quick so I know the only extra step is retrieving the data from the MYD.
I am looking for thoughts on why this is slow and what can be done to speed it up. I find it unusual why it would take this long to simply grab 2 rows from the MYD. vmstat reports high reads and strace confirms pread()'s on the MYD file.
The only abnormality is my table size MYD is 26 gig and my MYI is about 30 gig.
Test system details, tests were performed with no load.
System: Redhat Linux 2.4.28
Mysql: tested on versions 4.0.22 and latest 4.1 tree
IDE (WD 2500 JB 8 mb buff) disk1 used for MYD (written contiguously at beginning of disk)
IDE (WD 2500 JB 8 mb buff) disk2 used for MYI
dual xeon 2.4ghz
1gb ddr266 mem
Here are query tests & detail below:

1) Do you have cardinalities for the following columns?
accountid wordid position date
2) Do you have the EXPLAIN for the SELECT query you posted?
