Deryck, others: I'm doing some reading on InnoDB and am pretty ignorant on the subjets. Can someone explain why would InnoDB be faster than MySQL? From what I read it looks like it will have more overhead to support the transactions and that should decrease the performance rather than improve it. I think I read something to that effect in one of the manuals (but I don't rememeber which one). Could someone shed some light on this please
