Hello everybody, I am setting up a server to do POP/SMTP authentication using vpopmail. I took a look at the variables at global my.cnf and wondered what would be the best values for things like key_buffer, read_buffer_size and table_cache. I searched the manual, but it does not go deep in this subject, or I was not capable of finding the right place. What I want to know is how can I calculate how much memory I should give to key_buffer before I start to give away too much memory. That's because I got only 1GB of RAM and I have about 34k domains in my database, averaging from 8 to 15 accounts each. In a normal situation, there are ~400 simultaneous clients. I was wanting to know how can I estimate the memory usage for this scenario, if exists some kind of formula to answer this, like:
clients * total size of key fields used in query or if this is some thing that is clear in the manual (if so, my apologies, but I could not find).
