Ah, okay. A couple ideas: (1) Try running smaller batches of deletes. (2) Add a 'deleted' ENUM('N','Y') column to the table. Mark records deleted but only run the delete processing when traffic is less demandinng. (3) See if you can safely increase the size of InnoDB's buffer pool to help performance. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
