It depends, if your datafile is less then 16 GB then the system cache can help, but fill up the innodb_buffer_pool you'll get better performance. Think of innodb as being its own virtual filesystem. If you have 16GB it's probably a 64 bit OS, and mysql is available in 64 bit. > > Tim > > > -- > MySQL General Mailing List > For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql > To unsubscribe: > http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
