Thanks. I just saw the benchmark that InnoDB has on their site:

http://www.innodb.com/bench.html

and I was fairly surprised by the speed difference between InnoDB and MyISAM
when it comes to concurrent inserts/selects. I thought the new feature of
MyISAM tables being able to do simultaneous inserts/selects would be faster
than this benchmark claims.

Does replication hurt MyISAM performance in the same way? If I'm running a
master that takes all the inserts and one or more slaves to take all the
select queries, would it be better implemented in MyISAM or InnoDB? I don't
need the transaction ability of InnoDB, but if concurrent replication
affects MyISAM performance in the same way as concurrent insert/select ops,
it makes me wonder which table type I should use on my high insert activity
tables. My assumption was MyISAM, but I'm not so sure now...

Thanks,

P.S. -- I saw your signature, so I'm picking your brain!   :)
