For information on the options files: <URL: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Option_files.html > For information on variables you can adjust: <URL: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Server_parameters.html > I guess you should increase the size of the 'key_buffer_size' variable. This is a shared global index buffer for MyIsam tables. The default value is rather low.
