Dear sir,

I'm using mysql  Ver 12.16 Distrib 4.0.5-beta, for Win95/Win98 (i32).

I have an innodb table which contains more than 40 columns, after it load
50000 rows, the query:
    select count(*) from t;
takes 11 seconds. while the same table with ISAM type, the query only takes
0.02 second.

I also did some other test:
I ceated two tables both only have two columns, and both load 50000 rows.
Talbe A has two int type columns,
Table B has an int type as primary key, and a mediumblob column. I insert a
4k data into blob column of each row.

It turns out that the query:
        select count(*) from A;        takes 0.19 sec
        select count(*) from B;        takes 32 sec

It looks like the query depend on the size of row.
If the query is using index, the query should not make difference. What can
I do to improve the query speed?

Thanks
Frank
