Hello, I did a complete new install on another machine but this time I selected the dedicated server option during the first setup, reran the same process and its going about 3 times faster then it did before.. so it looks like I am on the right track! the current sizes I have for the following are: whats the ideal setup for these? key_buffer_size = 37748736 myisam_max_sort_file_size = 48234496 bulk_insert_buffer_size = 8388608 any other sugestions where to look? many thanks everyone, Andrew
