Hello, Depending on what types of values are in your table, and the types of selects that you are going to perform, you will most likely notice a speed change if you were to INDEX some of your attributes...Just look up INDEX in the mysql manual...
I notice the largest improvement when I INDEX on an attribute that I am constantly using in a WHERE clause in my SELECT statement...It really helps MySQL when it goes to test the comparisons... Hope this helps...
