Thanks Chris, this sounds great but when I read about mysqlhotcopy I
didn't see a way to make it create a live table that's open within
the same database, it seems to want only to create a separate backup
file in some directory.

This is a situation where u should use mysqlhotcopy. That gives u a
snapshot of the current table and lets u work on it "offline" while
the
real table is available.
hotcopy table A to B
blank table A to allow inserts
work on table B
merge A into B
delete A
rename B to A
