my-medium vs my-huge cnf files

2005-07-12 Thread Stephane Savage
Hi,

I'm quite new to mysql and I have a question regarding the server
configuration files.  I have a server with 2 go of memory and I would
like to know the reason why when I run a query (select * from Mytable)
that returns 400k rows the my-medium configuration always runs the query
in 30 sec and the my-huge configuration runs it in about 35 to 50 sec
its never the same.  Doesn't the my-huge suppose to be more efficient
and faster when you have the memory to handle it?  Or will I only see a
difference running a test with multiple concurrent queries?

Thanks in advance!
